    very sadly wars have proved to be excellent for technolgical advances.

    I will have to have a look at Google Latitude it's not one that I know but it sounds worrying. What I find though is that anything that is given enough time - about 15 years - becomes the norm so what seems extreme now will be taken for granted by the next generation. The fact that the government could propose recording all text, email and mobile phone messages without a major civic uprising supports this. I see from your film postings that you liked Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World'. The fear of technology being embraced to the point whereby we don't even question it is scarier than the Big Brother scenario. I'd recommend Neil Postman's book 'Amusing Oursleves To Death' for a slant on this - I think you'd enjoy it.
