A public debate?

Hands up who has been consulted about such topics that warrent a public debate?

Hands up who has ever asked their representative to pass on their opinion about a given topic in the public domain?

I can honestly say that I have never been approached by any organisation that asked for my opinion on such matters.

Anyways back to my main point here.
The key sentence in this PR blurb is the statement about researchers have already created devices to monitor/record peoples every move.

Why would you want to do this?
Who funded such research?
Who stands to gain from such devices?

These are the vital questions that need to be asked and actually debated.

Robin Williams was in a movie about this once.

yes, it reminds me of The Final Cut, too.
kind of scary-
