It wouldn't surprise me. DRM embedded monitors/viewing screens will be
required for ordinary use (called premium content) with the release of
Microsofts next OS. It means anybody who has access to the cipher keys
(that you happen to be by law excluded from, see DCMA) can control
what you view on your monitor (web broadcasts, pictures to home
movies). Embedded DRM in bioses have also been slowly making headway.
Government's ability to watch the watchers has been curtailed with the
guise of liberty.
When information awareness is coupled with RFID tags... man oh man...
No speeding, no stealing, no fighting, no spitting, no smoking, no
driving, no swearing, no bookie, no hooky, no nookie, no escape, no
nothing. The concept of restraint, in not doing something because you
can seems to be completely alien to our politicans and business
leaders. It's mostly likely only a matter of time before they stop
pretending that rights matter (though little cadence is given to them
now).
The current core issue seems to revolve around whether or not we have
a right to be bad and get away with it; this has a natural evolution
to simply the right to be bad. (please keep in mind the term bad is
completely relative and mostly without consistency).
Orwell was mostly right.
