Our Wired Future?

Thursday May 4, 2006
This short movie I found linked from Anton Chuvakin's blog site is designed to show how your privacy may be eroded as more information is retained electronically and if vendors and systems were to link their data to allow a comprehensive view of your personal life. The movie shows a computer screen display of a pizza restaurant's ordering system while playing the audio of the pizza employee's conversation with a customer. It seems like something from 1984 or Total Recall, but pieces of the puzzle are a reality today. Books like Database Nation describe some of the ways our privacy and security are already being compromised. But, scare tactics aside, the movie is interesting and humorous to watch.
