Let's say the world were as simple as the bad, and the good. Perhaps then it would be simple to divide those and put all the bad behind bars, though we may have to dedicate over 3/4 of the planet to house a prison to house all convicted of being bad.
As the future progresses (since the future is always the future), freedoms and liberties will be removed in the name of national security. Eventually we will have a National ID, it isn't that hard to believe since there are already a few areas that are testing various ideals on what a NID actually is and how it should be used and what it should be linked to.
Already we see hundreds of cameras everywhere, of course the more technological the area, the more technology there is.
How long will it be before we have microphones placed in public places (of course if it is not already happening)?
This isn't about paranoia, of phearing 'the man'. it is about reality, and where we are headed.
In the real world, we as a people are corrupt animals, we instinctively look out for numero uno, the self. Depending where you are in life, what you do may not seem to matter, but it does because everyday judgements are being made and applied to the real world. Everyone in the world shapes the world, society, etc, even by the slightest fraction or degree. There can never be a utopian existence for us.
We will destroy ourselves first.
