This is something eery that crossed my path a little over a month ago;
The White House Blog The National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace Posted by Howard A. Schmidt on June 25, 2010 at 02:00 PM EDT »www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2010/06/···berspace
The government is talking about a Digital Passport.
This coupled with Schmidt's remarks, which he has made several times. (Watch the CNBC doc about Google). And the movement towards IPv6 is a bit worrying to say the least. The time to speak up is almost over.
This wouldn't bother me at all! I was just discussing this with some friends and family, seems alot of people I know are getting tired of forking out hundreds in entertainment $. This may just be the incentive in my circles to unplug. The kids can skip rocks again, screw the stores, internet, mess the man up just stop consuming.
