I Know!) over "the part to do with technology"(the buzzing traffic and fast-paced life). And yesterday I was greatly amused when you said on the blog that "Blogspot was out to get you" - (I actually wanted to say, it is the Vatican CIA). <BR/><BR/>But I do think that your paranoia such as these are very relevant, what with the ever increasing control of technology over us and our lives. Infact, it is a horrifying fact in America today, the country that sets the example for others to follow. Try watching the Movie "The Net" starring Sandra Bullock and you will get a hint of what I am talking about. <BR/><BR/>And didn't you read the recent news item about a new technology- a versatile transceiver, that can send and receive data and do much much more..!<BR/><BR/>Called a Bio-Chip it is being marketed as a tamper-proof means of personal identification, which when embedded under the human skin, would track down your location and every movement . So the Big Brother (the Govt, police etc. ) would soon be able to watch whatever you do! It could soon be a common thing in the future, even enforced by Law. <BR/><BR/>Among the various benefits that the manufacturers (NASDAQ) proclaim are : It can provide a tamper-proof means of identification for enhanced business security. It can locate lost, missing, kidnapped individuals or criminals, it can monitor the medical conditions of at-risk patients !<BR/><BR/>'Others believe the device could lead to the erosion of personal liberty, particularly if government chooses to adopt the technology for various uses, such as the monitoring of military personnel and civilian identification.'<BR/><BR/>Now you know..<BR/><BR/>Love<BR/>SureshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17395716.post-1129613798839730052005-10-18T07:36:00.000+02:002005-10-18T07:36:00.000+02:00Am writing from the Timbaktoo collective office. W...Am writing from the Timbaktoo collective office. Will be writing more about my experiences here when I get back.<BR/><BR/>On being paranoid, I agree with you that there is really a thin line (if any) between being normal and so called metally unbalanced.<BR/><BR/>I have gone through this feeling of being watched and conspired against inumerable times and almost always felt I was not ok once the feelings cleared or something happened to make me look at things differently.basicworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01545272287301604339noreply@blogger.com
