        <description><![CDATA[The remaining problem is that is isn't universally obsolete, the wealthy ad powerful have much better access to your data than you to theirs.Privacy is seldom used for any great social advantage, it is most commonly used to leverage information to profit from other people's  ignorance.Completely  open society (like a small village) is better than a partially closed system in which some have access to all information and others have limited or no access.Open government is difficult to corrupt, secrecy is the friend to tyrants.Laws will change--laws not desired and respected by a large majority of the public will become obsolete in many cases (things like adultary, prohibited sex acts etc.) or at the least require major changes. (It is currently nearly impossible to go through a day in the US w/o breaking at least one law. Most people break several every day mostly without even thinking about it.)Since EVERYTHING in our society is going to change dramatically (politics, economics, social interaction) within the next 15 years, this is merely one factor.If politicians had no privacy, they would be far less able to be corrupt. Without hidden agenda's and schedules, much of the money made by individuals based upon 'insider' knowledge would be impossible. Unfair wages would be impossible (though the concept of 'wages' and 'money' are becoming rapidly obsolete, as is the concept that 'everyone must work to live,' and 'resources are scarce.'It will be as different from today as 1955 was from 1935.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The solution to pollution is dilution.The solution to privacy invasion is privacy diversion. Read between the lines. Create a few surrogate webdentities. Purchase  a license plate screen only human eyes can see through. Baffle the digital papparazzi with bullshot. Create several  phony facebook profiles with your name and fake faces. Send them on a wild goose chase.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Data logging multiplies the problem a million percent.  Sure an actual person can see you at a particular location, but an actual person doesn't have the large scale capability of recording that date, processing it, analyzing it, comparing it with other date. sharing it with countless other agencies, and storing it for eternity.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It strikes me there is a confusion between the ability to efficiently collect large amounts of data vs. the potential invasion of privacy.  The potential to invade someone's privacy occurred when the state required personally identifiable markings be placed on everyone's car.  This is what enabled the police lieutenant to extort money from the gay bar customers, for example.  That potential existed long before data logging could be done electronically.  If there is a problem that an unattended data logger can record your presence somewhere, than its also a problem that an actual person can see you at that location.  The data logging isn't the issue.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It's my prediction that our contemporary notion of &quot;privacy&quot; will be obsolete in the very near future, and forgotten altogether in a generation. Consider that those now under 30 have spent their most impressionable years in a world of reality TV and YouTube; where nearly all forms of public exhibitionism no matter how crude or stupid is not only tolerated, but is encouraged. Kids today tweet details of their daily lives that would have horrified our parents, and even install applications on their smartphones with the sole purpose of broadcasting their exact whereabouts and activities to anybody who cares in realtime.Who is going to care about privacy when nearly everyone is already literally and purposely broadcasting every minute detail of their personal lives to the entire planet?Do you really think that these same people are going to be that concerned that their phone, automobile or home appliances are going to be sending off nearly undecipherable strings of hexadecimal code to the IP addresses of who knows who? Probably not. All they wanted was the free wallpaper or ring tone.It's only a matter of time before two-way GPS or like devices will be mandated in all automobiles for taxation purposes as EVs eventually replace conventional gas and diesel vehicles.]]></description>
