This kind of shit is why we're bound to end up living under intense surveillance and with little privacy most of our lives, if we keep computerizing and networking everything. It's inevitable, if that's the direction we keep going.
- pomian 5y agoNot why! Why do we need to open all utilities, finances and banks, to they internet? It's crazy. All of a sudden, in ten years, everything is accessible to any one with desire and intent. And worse, it's harder and harder to be that person, that doesn't want to use online access.

- didgfehfocu 5y agoBecause it makes everything easier seems to be the main reason. A (mostly) crime free society where you don't even need a wallet because the buildings all know who you are isn't exactly unpleasant as fast as dystopias go. And if you already think the government could oppress you if it wanted to anyway then wanting to add gilding to the cage isn't unreasonable.
- BenjiWiebe 5y agoIt's great for me. I'm very glad I: don't have to make regular trips to the bank to deposit my paycheck, make trips even farther to renew my car's registration, get instant notifications about credit card transactions instead of waiting for a mailed statement, etc. Saves me a lot of driving.
