Re: Mayor Bloomberg: "Get used to it"i remember one of the NY network morning shows doing a walk. They covered maybe 10 blocks. The guy that was escorting them said they had been captured on nearly 100 cameras while on that walk.
It's getting to be part of the norm. To be recorded. Sadly everyone bitches about privacy but yet: Carries a smart phone, uses social media, uses a credit/debit card, uses cloud storage.
But then again, what is all the fuss? People don't seem to care about the NSA snooping their electronic communications, but are going to fuss over cameras? |

IMO the implications and relevant importance of your statement and what it represents to our world cannot be overstated. It is IMO more representative of the technology and privacy to our present and our future than NSA, drones, or other such more "ominous" sounding "threats" and changes. In the First World there is no privacy. That is a historical state. The privacy is dropping too in the rest of the world by the time our now children become adults they will not understand what the concern or discussion of today was all about or even a big deal. |

People don't seem to care about the NSA snooping their electronic communications... I do. I post about it all the time. You're right that sheeple don't though. |

When people have no interest in or understanding of fundamental philosophic ideas, especially the ones that resulted in the formation of their country, this will be the result. The average American has no clue nor do they want one. Some of us do... |

Not in NYC. It's technically against to wear a mask or disguise on any day other than Hallowe'en. |

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that most of us in " fly-over country" (and I see the jetsteams) are quite happy for those on the left/right coasts to stay where they are |

Any one remember the movie Enemy of the State with Will Smith. Remember how Jon Voight's Character said that the only privacy left is in your own head. That is how its going to be. |

quote: Here's the latest look at Ubisoft's intriguing surveillance thriller Watch Dogs, coming to PC and consoles this autumn. Set in a near-future Chicago, the story follows activist hacker Aiden Pearce as he gains control of the shadowy computer system that runs the city. This video looks at the set-up from the perspective of ctOS, the intelligent computer network that Pearce must battle

Based on what was reported in the original article, Bloomberg doesn't appear to be saying a whole lot more than many of you here are saying: that you will have less privacy in the future, and there will be more surveillance of the population. You wait, in five years, the technology is getting better, theyll be cameras everyplace . . . whether you like it or not, Does anyone here actually disagree with this prediction? |

No, I guess not. But I'd like to add one proposal. Install cameras everywhere in his office(s) and broadcast live stream over the internet, 24/7. We want to know that our rulers are doing for our money... |

No no can't do that. That'd be a security risk.
Besides he's one of the elite (rulers). |

He is a public servant and public needs to know what he's doing on our money. Seeing online how he picks up his nose is not security risk. It's experience of his ideas in action... It's especially useful for the elite (rulers) and should be seen as one of the major requirements to get the gob. |

And BTW, the guys from the company, which will install surveillance cameras in his offices, should wear uniform with very readable printing - "Get used to it". |

There are cameras installed inside and outside of the apartment complex I live in that record you from the minute you pull onto the lot till you close the door of your apartment. The ones outside are supposedly monitored real-time, the feed from the ones inside the building are recorded for review. |
