Another very informative post buddy. Too many people are happy to enjoy the positive sides of these new technologies without ever even contemplating the negatives or worse still, being aware of the negatives and working on the basis that it has no affect on them now and will not affect them in future. With the way things are going these days it is possible that something which is perfectly acceptable one day may become unacceptable the next so whilst people may say that if you aren't doing anything wrong you shouldn't have anything to worry about, they may find that tomorrow something they feel is okay today will become not okay and they will be liable to face the consequences under their own accepted doctrine.
There are too many of us unfamiliar with books such as 1984 and the tele-screens mentioned within and with the all pervasive use of technology to control our modern lives and direct our patterns of thought and social consciousness. Unfortunately at this time there are too many more still who simply do not care because they do not see it having a direct affect on their lives.
thanks for the post!
