Back to the Future

"Big Brother is watching you" - 1984

I don't necessarily agree with the video(Swagat... thnx), but it is an interesting take nonetheless.

After seeing it,I remembered 1984 by George Orwell and the problems he highlighted. As the web becomes ubiquitous, we may well moving towards those problems rather than away from it.

Perhaps a Microsoft dominated world isn't so bad. For one thing a Google dominated one would be far more dangerous.

“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past. "– George Orwell 1984
