1984 is here in 2011...

I was watching the news and they were talking about new traffic lights that had cameras mounted in them that could take pictures or live video of people commiting traffic violations. They also talked about special cameras in police cars that can scan your license plate and plug it into a database automatically and pull up any violations (any!) you might have on record. The newsman concluded with: "And remember folks, Big Brother is watching YOU!" and they faded out with an eye on the screen, roving about...is my TV a telescreen now too?!

  1. Big Brother is here... and it IS you.. and me!
    With our cell phone cameras, iPods, Flips etc. and ability to post instantly (i.e. Youtube) we need to live our lives as if EVERYthing we do is on camera and we want the WHOLE world to know about it.

    ...get your finger out of your nose!
