Truman Show Predictive Programming

Flock cameras are turning up everywhere. They aren't just used for highway toll booths or busy intersections. They are in ordinary spaces of daily life. It’s “not just plate tracking, ” it's people tracking.  

The surveillance state does not arrive with loud announcements. It arrives as solar-powered poles that blend into the landscape, justified by promises of safety and installed while most of us are looking the other way. Each new location feels minor, but taken together they form a network.

What should unsettle us is not only what already exists, but the trajectory. The infrastructure is being laid for something larger like persistent identification, predictive profiling and the quiet elimination of anonymity in public space. Once the sensors are everywhere and the databases talk to one another, the line between “public safety” and privacy disappears. The Truman Show was fiction about one man living inside a constructed reality. Perhaps that movie wasn't just entertainment, but predicative programming of what is to come.

Thoughts?
