Thirteen videos that discuss how today’s security technology is visualizing everything about you. The whole world is watching.
Little Brother – the name for the ever-growing myriad forms of security technology – is now embedded into every facet of our lives. There is no escape. Fingerprints, voice patterns, facial features, eyeball composition, body odor… everything is captured secretly, analyzed by computers, and filed into endless databases. Everything about you is recorded somewhere - like Google - and accessible to someone, for some purpose.
These invasive technologies go well beyond old forms of identity snooping like credit cards or phone records. Bio-Metrics is a euphemism for social engineering, psycho-manipulation, cultural and behavioral control. It promotes a polarizing insidious loop: Manufacture global fear and then market invasive technological responses that provoke still more fear which, in turn, is used as a rationale for more invasive technology…. Stop fearing everything and everyone. Of course, manufacturing any fear is a primary media marketing strategy. But, try to resist these invasive technologies. They have more potential for harm than good.
