[DeTomaso] NPC: Disgusting

[Boyd Casey]

The degree that "big brother " capabilities have advanced in recent years
is really very scary. I remember reading 1984 as a student, George Orwell
hadn't conceived of the technological implications of the digital age ( no
one had) In Mr. Orwell's  future every wire tap and bug had a human being
monitoring it. This idea presents a logistical nightmare and practical
impossibility needing one monitor for every subject being watched which in
the fictional society of "1984" was presumably everyone. The reality of
today's digital age where computer processing ability has gotten so fast (
and getting faster every year), the capability to monitor just about
everyone  everywhere has or is very close to becoming a reality. On a
positive note it would be nice to be able to go into court and refute
trumped up charges for tickets received when one has really not broken the
law and being able to prove it with the same technology. The reality is
that they will be able to catch so many people actually breaking the law
they will no longer have to fabricate charges to meet ticket quotas.

   The degree that "big brother " capabilities have advanced in recent
   years is really very scary. I remember reading 1984 as a student,
   George Orwell hadn't conceived of the technological implications of the
   digital age ( no one had) In Mr. Orwell's  future every wire tap and
   bug had a human being monitoring it. This idea presents a logistical
   nightmare and practical impossibility needing one monitor for every
   subject being watched which in the fictional society of "1984" was
   presumably everyone. The reality of today's digital age where computer
   processing ability has gotten so fast ( and getting faster every year),
   the capability to monitor just about everyone  everywhere has or is
   very close to becoming a reality. On a positive note it would be nice
   to be able to go into court and refute trumped up charges for tickets
   received when one has really not broken the law and being able to prove
   it with the same technology. The reality is that they will be able to
   catch so many people actually breaking the law they will no longer have
   to fabricate charges to meet ticket quotas.

        Horsepower rules.  I wonder if they are aware of the Acenture
     findings?
         It's odd that in this "Golden Age" in America that the youth
     (whatever
        that means) are not too interested in vehicles.  Maybe it's the
     same
        thing as: when I was a kid the cowboy western movies ruled; and
        obviously that is ancient history now.  It would be interesting
     to be
        alive in 100 years and look back to see what the hot items had
     been.
