BIG BROTHER STIŽE

Zamislite si, stojite na semaforu, vama crveno, nigdje ni jednog jedinog auta i krenete lagano. Kad, odjednom: “Prekršili ste zakon o prometu član taj i taj, bit će vam poslana kazna na kućnu adresu”. Vi se okrećete, nigdje nikoga…samo jedna kamera na stupu i 2 velika zvučnika. Budućnost? Ne, sadašnjost, ali zasada samo u Engleskoj, što ne znači da uskoro nećemo takve uređaje gledati i na našim ulicama.. Ne samo da ih prate kamerama na svakih 30-50 metara, nego su sada dodali još i zvučnu podlogu u vidu jakih zvučnika. Ne znam kak vama, al’ meni je to pre strašno. Evo i link na cijeli tekst, danas izašlo na Daily Mail-u.

Mene jedino zanima, koliko to ljudi treba zaposliti da nadgledaju sve te kamere. Izgleda da čika Orwel nije ni puno fulao u svojoj “1984″. Treba se malo zamisliti nad svime, koliko je naša “sigurnost”, važnija od naše privatnosti? Sve mi to izgleda kao neki novi 3. Reich, koji nam se galopirajućom brzinom nezaustavljivo približava. Blah!!!

Big Brother is shouting at you

Big Brother is not only watching you – now he’s barking orders too. Britain’s first ‘talking’ CCTV cameras have arrived, publicly berating bad behaviour and shaming offenders into acting more responsibly.

The system allows control room operators who spot any anti-social acts – from dropping litter to late-night brawls – to send out a verbal warning: ‘We are watching you’.

Middlesbrough has fitted loudspeakers on seven of its 158 cameras in an experiment already being hailed as a success. Jack Bonner, who manages the system, said: ‘It is one hell of a deterrent. It’s one thing to know that there are CCTV cameras about, but it’s quite another when they loudly point out what you have just done wrong.

‘Most people are so ashamed and embarrassed at being caught they quickly slink off without further trouble.

‘There was one incident when two men started fighting outside a nightclub. One of the control room operators warned them over the loudspeakers and they looked up, startled, stopped fighting and scarpered in opposite directions.
