Privacy Is History - Get Over It

Privacy Is History - Get Over It

“The issue isn't privacy, according to science fiction writer David Brin, it's equality of exposure.”

This article is from Wired 4.02 from February 1996. Thats ten years ago. I’’ve always believed in this statement. If we have access to the same tools or at least the same information then there is no problem.

Big Brother anyone? I thought this was illegal?

The following is comment from the original poster to Digg and not necessarily my belief or concern.

"Has it gotten to the point that the government can just rape the Constitution so freely? How is it in the interest of National Security to know when my Grandma called me to wish me a happy birthday? It's time for citizens to stand up against oppression and create some laws that mirror todays' technology and culture!"

New Ideas

After posting the first video news segment on this blog I had one of those amazing moments where you think .... of course ! For a while now I've been wanting to get my dad to tell all of his stories for me to blog a history of his life.

Well this seems to be the perfect medium. In fact I'm thinking it could be a whole new website, containing lots of video and text content about Wollaraha and the surrounding eastern suburbs.

Stay tuned ... this will be good.

GATES: We'll look back on this time and realize that search is pathetic. If I ask for something, I should get it, not a list of things to click on...
