One nation, tracked
This is behind the NYT paywall, but it is worth reading if you ca. Consider what is happening in China.

If you have nothing to hide, what are you worried about? The majority of the sheeple are in a coma and believe the government would NEVER abuse their track-your-movements-24-hours-each-and-every-day database.

I am too old to ever see it. Yet still believe. At some point there will be no physical money.
Complete records will be available on all your financial dealings down to the last dime. I really expect this to evolve with time. We as a couple today actually use almost no actual money and records exist of all we spend. For example buying used on many items when not using cash. Could be flagged as lacking the sales tax on the transactions. |

We live in a modern society. For better or worse. We are all posting on a public web site. Our names and locations can be tracked. None of us live off the grid. The amount of info that is accessible on each of us may vary but there is quite a bit out there and more than most would admit or realize.
I know I do not have any say in it and I will continue to take advantage of the technology that makes my life a bit easier. I rarely use cash, I use GPS and smart phones, I have a google mini in my house, I pay my bills electronically.... etc. It is what it is. The cat is out of the bag for better or worse and it is not going back in.

Pre-internet, private investigators had to make a physical trip to the court house, interview people, etc. when attempting to gather information.
Today, they sit in front of a computer and in ten minutes time know more about you and your family than they did before the internet came along. |

There was a string of jewelry store robberies across the southeastern US a few years ago, including one about two miles from my house. The way they caught them was to compare all the cell phone pings near the stores at the time they were being robbed. One of the robbers had a cell phone and his number was the only on all of the ping lists.
If you're up to something... leave you cell phone at home. |

Tracking people and their movements may be more advanced than the average person realizes. I do not know how long the satellite intelligence is kept.
The quality of their cameras is astounding. I assume they do not record ground movements in cloudy weather. Or after dark. I just would not bet on that though. This does no matter to me if true. Should the public be given more information about it? |

That is an unreasonable request.
