Millions of people queue up to have RFID tags injected under their skin.........virtually

I'm not sure why people are so repulsed by the thought of having RFID tags injected under their skin. Could save on carrying around a wallet with ID and credit cards at least. Besides 1984 happened a long time ago and no one really noticed.We are all happy to give away way more than our location data and have in fact becoming just social media animals for harvesting in order to make someone else rich.

Down on the social media farm the food is free and you get to meet loads of great people but what's the actual price? We don't actually know yet but i'm sure that there will be many cases where cyber stalking turn in to real life stalking (thanks 4sq). Even our iPhones and Android phone are in on the act (not so secretly) recording and transmitting all of our movements from the day we buy them until we discard them for the latest shiny tech object of joy.

In an ideal world Twitter, Quora, 4sq could be run more like Wikipedia (which probably has it's own set of flaws that I'm ignoring due to the romantic notion of the service not being evil) but that doesn't give a few rich investors and a couple of spotty teens the billions they deserve does it? Funny how we accept strict rules from a company like Quora that we would rebel against if it wasn't hiding a corporate business behind the banner of social media and web 2.0.

I wonder how people react if Quora was a service set up by the British Government? People would certainly not spamming all their friends to join up and add content for free to line someone else's pockets. Facebook for some strange reason, I seem to have accepted as an actual utility, much like water or electricity. It is the global whiteboard where I get to know what friends are up to and it does actually have a few rules. I do wonder what will happen to my data in the future but right now the benefits out weigh possible future issues.

Twitter on the other hand is the wild west and the owners are only interested in farming comments from their unwitting users. There are nearly no rules and anyone can say what they like about anyone with little to no consequences. In their case it's not about freedom of speech, it's about raising their value. They just need people to join and then persistently use their service to justify their perceived (growing) value. People bullying, goading and insulting each other is a great way to keep the machine churning. Anyway, time to get back to the real world. You can stalk me down at Hyde park in about 30 minutes from now. I'll climb back into my vat of goo and plug back into the Matrix later this evening.
