Invasive surveillance and advertising obliterates
even Minority Report style technology.
Private industry and eventually government
is planning to use microphones in the computers of an estimated 150 million-plus
Internet active Americans to spy on their lifestyle choices and build psychological
profiles which will be used for surveillance and minority report style invasive
advertising and data mining.
Digital cable TV boxes, such as Scientific
Atlanta, have had secret in-built microphones inside them since their inception
in the late 1990's and these originally dormant devices were planned to
be activated when the invasive advertising revolution arrived - 2006 marks
that date.
The advent of digital video recording
devices such as TiVo (Sky Plus in the UK) introduced the creation of psychological
algorithm profiles - databases on what programs you watched, how long you
watched them for, which adverts you liked or didn't like. This information
was retained by TiVo and sold to the highest bidders - an
example being
Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction during
the 2003 Super Bowl half-time show - TiVo were able to compile lists of
how many people had rewound the clip and how many times they had replayed
it.
Two way communications systems like OnStar
also have the ability to tap into private conversations as Americans become
increasingly conditioned, by means of the private sector, to having their
every movement, web session and conversation tracked and catalogued by big
brother.
Each time a new flash application requests
permission to run on newer computers, you will notice that a privacy setting
box pops up asking if the particular website you are surfing can access
your microphone and webcam. Though the webcam is external, the microphone
is internal and is a standard feature of all new models..........Read More
