Since most of you members are a bit more in tune with what is happening in the IT world I'm wondering what you think of the privacy concerns being raised not only about Google but elsewhere. I'm reading about full body scanners going into use at airports, surveillance cameras are everywhere, there is talk of adding rfid chips to cars. I've heard (but don't have direct knowledge) that you can surreptitiously add an ap to iPhone so you can track the owner of it. Is it me or is the world starting to leave Orwell's worst nightmare in the dust. It's bad enough to trade freedom for safety but to trade it for the newest flashy technology? If this topic is felt to be inappropriate for this group then accept my apologies and feel free to close the thread.
