" great website" "fantastic" "fabulous"...

??!!!

So nobody feel that tracking everything you do every second and log it in real time and forever on a server is terribly frightening ?!!!!

In 2005 i predicted every one who ever logged on facebook would regret it one day and pay a huge price for it. This is more than real now. Still you don't stop, and now you're sending to "them" in realtime your heartbeats, your weight, what you yeat, etc.

Did you just forgot about LIFE ? Is this the next American Way of life ? So yout think totalitarism is Iran or Syria ? Pouarrrk !!!

You guys are totally out of your minds. Seriously.

It's only frightening if it's not deliberate / you don't know it's happening.

This is beautiful, voluntary and insightful.

It's also frightening if it becomes so mainstream that you become a pariah by not doing it.

Dave Eggers novel _The Circle_ looks at this, and while I felt it was hyperbolic and more than a little preachy, it's certainly worth thinking about.

"It's only frightening if it's not deliberate / you don't know it's happening."

Oh my god, how old are you all ? Are you the next generation of this world ? Don't you just understand you behave like products and not human !? This is possibly the end of the world.

So when they'll stick a tracker in the ass of every new babyborn you'll say "hurray, this is beautiful !" The world you're creating is just insane.

One will have to kill me before seeing me wearing a tracking device.
