1984 to 2006

1984 till 2006. Hade George Orwell rätt eller fel? han förutspådde en del som stämmer med dagens värkligheten i alla fall! I London idag finns det ca: 500'000 överbevakningskameror. Malmö stad sitter inte på lika många! Men hur som helst, gör dom då någon nytta?

"The Predictions
George Orwell predicted a dystopian fascist future, where Big Brother keeps a watchful eye on the citizens of Oceania. The book predicts a future where technology is used to oppress the common man, and where fear leads to the repression of sexuality and free thought.

The Reality
For the most part, the predictions posited by 1984 didn't come to pass. Apple advertising would have us believe, however, that this positive outcome was all due to the creation of the Macintosh computer.
Probably the most frightening thing about the work is how its definitely technologically possible. As cameras have become a common occurrence in the UK to prevent crime, it's easy to imagine a misuse of the remote viewing technology to exploit and oppress people."
