The cost of observation is ever dropping. With improved processing
capability (hardware and software) the value of data is ever rising. There
is only one logical conclusion: permanent, global observation.
Resistance is effective but eventually futile, you cannot reverse time, you
cannot reverse progress.
More fruitful is managing the inevitable future. Will we go gently into
corporate hell? Will we let power games rule us? Do the wealthy buy
privacy, and the people's data? Will you, at the very least, own the data
about you? Will populism be managed by algorithms? Do our current systems
still work in such a future? How will the developed areas relate to the
underdeveloped? Etc. etc. etc.
