As keen observers of this Podcast website will have noticed I've become obsessed recently with the various lighting and security fixtures at the Belfast Waterfront.
Security Cameras are everywhere - our brains filter/tune them out - we do not consciously see them - what happens when they become networked and their feeds delivered to facial/body movement recognition systems?
Good Morning Mr. Orwell. We're so glad to have you here.

Depends on who's face and who's body....Ms. X? Well, then sign me up for Big Brother TV.

I will disagree with you, Jett. I constantly look around for security cams, I don't tune them out.
I'm not paranoid but I do believe in freedom of speech/life. I know the 'authorities' mean well but they piss me off with their constant evesdropping.
The cameras against the pure blue sky are a complete juxtapostion of what they truly represent...it's not an innocent camera in the sky, they're tools to expose us.
Sorry to get serious, but security cams are a pet peeve of mine. I just want to live my life.

Cameras are there for your own protection - or to allow bored minimum wage slaves to spy on people having secret outdoor sex thinking no one's watching...
I think they're wonderful - but be careful what you do- you never know who's watching !

I agree w/ you, Damon. I think Wayne just wants to break the law, and is his only reason to gripe.

Dudes . . . Some businesses in NYC are approved to have cams in the bathrooms!
What's up with that?
