Some good news again: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24117006.
This is the perfect answer to those who keep telling me:
"We're all doomed!... The New World Order can't be stopped!" etc.
These workers on the London Underground have not chosen to take this action
over any changes in pay and conditions or pensions etc; they're up in arms
about the threat this poses to their civil liberties and their right to
anonymity and self-determination in an increasingly monitored and controlled
world. This is a manifest beacon of hope; it indicates a rising level of
awareness among the population. The need for this awareness struck me head on
when it entered my personal life in 2006, see: http://hpanwo.blogspot.co.uk/2007/11/this-is-drawing-done-by-my-12-year-old.html.
It is quite apt that this story broke just four days ago; today marks the
launch of the new IPhone 5s, and the concerns over its use of biometric
identification are mentioned in the article. There's a lot of talk going on
about this subject when in pervious times there might not have been. Take
heart!
