"The Big Brother nightmare of George Orwell's "1984" has become a reality - in the shadow of the author's former London home.
It may have taken a little longer than he predicted, but Orwell's vision of a society where cameras and computers spy on every person's movements is now here.
It may have taken a little longer than he predicted, but Orwell's vision of a society where cameras and computers spy on every person's movements is now here.
According to the latest studies, Britain has a staggering 4.2million CCTV cameras - one for every 14 people in the country - and 20 per cent of cameras globally. It has been calculated that each person is caught on camera an average of 300 times daily.
Use of spy cameras in modern-day Britain is now a chilling mirror image of Orwell's fictional world, created in the post-war Forties in a fourth-floor flat overlooking Canonbury Square in Islington, North London..."

Ceea ce nu spune insa articolul si nu si-a imaginat nimeni, nici chiar autorul, ...
este nu doar bunavointa, dar si extrema dorinta a populatiei de a fi "on-camera", in toate situatiile si ipostazele ... , astfel incit ceea ce Orwell a prezentat drept o conditie generatoare de oroare si indignare, s-a dezvaluit a fi o trasatura de exhibitionism pare-se natural al conditiei umane, din moment ce e acceptat, ba chiar incurajat in toate domeniile vietii sociale, politice, culturale ...
Sau ne prefacem doar ca acceptam, din frica de a admite ca omenirea a ajuns intr-un stadiu ireversibil de patologie incurabila. Sint curioasa ce ar avea de zis Orwell ...

cind vorbesc de "bunavointa si extrema dorintza" a omului de a se expune camerei, ma refer la acele "reality shows" care s-au inmultit ca ciupercile dupa ploaie, de o perversitate si obscenitate inconstienta:
Big Brother,
The Temptation Island,
The Osborn Show, etc etc etc
pe care pina si criticii si scirbitii de astfel de emisiuni, le urmaresc cu adictie ...
PS. chiar si blogurile sint o varianta a acestei patologii ...
