I foresee a time, sooner than we would like to believe, when babies are implanted with a tracking chip.
And don't think when we get our flu shots they won't be implanting us, too.
Our lives are all on electronic data by now. We are being encouraged to use electronic means for just about everything we do in our lives.
Our tv viewing is monitored, as is our reading material. Where we visit on the Internet is watched, what we buy in stores is easily tracked via our debit and credit cards. There is nothing about us that cannot be harvested through our daily routines. Our health records are being kept electronically now and available on line.
The only chance we have at some anonymity is to avoid data based electronic transactions, which is nearly impossible. Buy your books from swap meets, use over the airwaves antenai for tv viewing, stay off the net, pay in cash, etc. Stay off the Internet.
It is a comfort based society that puts chains on us. What to choose? Leaving the ease of electronic means that leaves us under their scrutiny? Living under the radar which will usurp our liberty?
Damned if we do, damned if we don't.
