As Ian's comment indicates, the level of surveillance in the UK at least is significantly higher and probably a sign of what's to come here. <BR/><BR/>Ian - you have some really interesting information about what's happening in 2010 that may facilitate Gellman's predictions and more; I've added you to my Blogroll.<BR/><BR/>Rich - really good points, particularly about consumer behaviour, although my earlier post about Facebook's negative option shows that consumers won't even need to provide their consent to "opt in".<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments all!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>SharonSharon E.

How about ......I think it will be easier than that. <BR/><BR/>How about ... cell phones and cpus will require GPS locator chips, making it safer in the even of an emergency. Consumers will readily opt-in to advertising offers and insurance tracking programs for "discounts." <BR/><BR/>The idea are spot on ... the packaging will push it forward. <BR/><BR/>Best, <BR/>RichRichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11249654290264168416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457830999401091234.post-35923981882711945982007-09-12T07:35:00.000-07:002007-09-12T07:35:00.000-07:00I have suggested to Gellman that his predictions a...I have suggested to Gellman that his predictions are 10 years too late.<BR/><BR/>In Europe/UK it all begins in 2010.<BR/><BR/>http://thejournal.parker-joseph.co.uk/blog/_archives/2007/8/23/3177099.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457830999401091234.post-23298064003086588132007-09-11T21:13:00.000-07:002007-09-11T21:13:00.000-07:00That sure is pretty extreme.

I know that over in Europe and the UK they have quite a bit more surveillance then we have here in the US.<BR/><BR/>Have you ever heard that video, or web site, where the guy is ordering a pizza, and it wants to charge him an inordinate amount because he has high cholesterol? They don't allow him bacon either. Then they query is checking account and see that he doesn't have enough to pay for it.<BR/><BR/>I honestly don't see it coming to that, but what is that saying, "Those who would sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither". Even that statement is from an extreme.Mike Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04324660275982861597noreply@blogger.com
