Dale, you talked about private citizens having tons of video cameras and the implications—you called it a "surveillance society."
I’d disagree with that characterization. Surveillance is spying from above, like Big Brother having all the eyes pointing one way. When the cameras point back from below, that’s "sousveillance," and when everybody’s watching everybody, that’s just "transparency."
McQ said something about privacy issues too.
Anyway, if the two of you are interested, there’s an excellent book called The Transparent Society by David Brin that you guys might enjoy. |
