‘Your Government Is On The Verge Of Recording Every Move You Make’

April 1st, 2012

To move forward, I’d like to step backwards – to the revelation that your government is on the verge of recording every move you make. As an exercise in critical thinking, let’s think a little deeper about the potential consequences of this development. As I believe you’ll quickly see, they’re important.

To begin, let’s just go with the assumption that the government will succeed in its efforts. As the Brookings report makes clear, the technology is already about 99% there – and the cost associated with recording and storing pretty much all of your communications and all of your movements throughout your every day is plummeting. In other words, we are no longer dealing with a hypothesis but a fact.

Might there be a legislative pushback against such a wholesale invasion of privacy? Isn’t there some hope there? Hardly. If history tells us anything, it’s that once something this powerful is created, it will be deployed. And any legislative resistance that may arise will be as quickly swept aside by the next 9/11 as the US Constitution was swept aside by the last.

May I be the first to welcome you to a world so Orwellian that even George himself would have been impressed.
