    This isn’t really the issue.

    The real issue is that people have become so soft, so INCREDIBLY dependant on convenience, that they have given up all control. Having autonomy/privacy/ownership over your own environment is just too much work. It’s easier to just let someone else handle the surveillance system for you. What could go wrong?

    This issue of complacency plagues just about everything, from cloud computing and banking to transportation and housing.
