The upcoming next-gen Ubisoft title Watch Dogs is in my view for its description of surveillance society. Even today, millions of people are targeted via different computer generated methods already in internet, public places and transport. If you start to look around, in any city on earth, you might notice the electronic CCTV eyes watching you move. It is not in some far away future where people are tracked, taped and censored non stop, but in our modern societies as well. Today, there's GPS, chips in credit cards, you name it, in every new appliance in the market. The pace is increasing. As we become more prone to misuse of power by our governments and companies, third party hackers are already inside the matrix, waiting for us, to plunge into a sea of information, power and reach without telling us how to swim, how to navigate. And think about all that electronic signal constantly making its way through your body and cells, frying from the inside, exposing us to unknown risks.
Enough with the rant. I got you thinking...
Here is my video with commentary:
For sanity's sake, keep it real. Use your brains. Eat healthy. Abandon the decadence. Spend time with your family. Reach for the stars.
