June 28, 2006, from Lloyd Erlick,
Maybe this means film will survive after all!
Sensors have been dazzled, Captain!
Wouldn't it be easier just to pass a law that all cameras must have a
remote on-off control, so government agents or perhaps anyone wearing a
black coat or at least flying a black helicopter can turn off all cameras ...
Or maybe the camera itself should send out a signal that alerts security to
its presence, maybe a GPS so they can locate it, well, while we're at it,
why shouldn't the camera owner's details be encoded so they know who you
are, too?
And now we're on the subject (or at least me) why limit it to cameras?
Cars, shoes, radios, telephones, why not give security organizations
complete remote control?
As the tech matures it could extend to remote control of our bodies if we
drink too much and try to drive, or maybe think the wrong thoughts, or
reproduction ... or abortion ...
Where's Charlie Chaplin when we need him?
regards,
--le
