This one depicts a very British dystopia. George Orwell remains an infinitely quotable chap for this sort of subject, and I highly recommend his thought-provoking literary works. &#8216;Nineteen Eighty Four&#8217; was a truly visionary undertaking \u2013 it foreshadowed the concept of a surveillance society long before the development of modern day technologies that would make it all possible.<\/p>\n<p>Britain is leading the world when it comes to <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/CCTV\" rel=\"nofollow\">CCTV<\/a>. It has one and a half times as many surveillance cameras as communist China. The exact number of them in the UK is not known but an estimate in 2002 counted the figure at well over four million. The methodology of collecting such statistics is rather vague but reasonable research suggests that our country now has one camera for every 14 people.<\/p>\n<p>The security infrastructure being created, whilst valid in many respects, presents a plethora of worrying possibilities. The coupling of CCTV cameras with facial recognition algorithms that track people through crowds, read registration plates and log all this data for future use is handy for current civil enforcement but leaves the door open for the state of the future to have profound levels of control over society.<\/p>\n<p><i>(Thanks go to Richard Dawkins and the editors of Boing Boing for using the image <a href=\"http:\/\/boingboing.net\/2011\/02\/22\/discretion-please-no.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">to illustrate this article<\/a> and sending lots of visitors here as a result.)<\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ai Weiwei in the Machine China<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cncmachinings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/5497364202_f59a89a229.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/><br \/>\n<i>Image by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/44124348109@N01\/5497364202\">jurvetson<\/a><\/i><br \/>\nAn untouched photo of the Chinese artist, spontaneously colored by the asynchronous data feed coming from afar.<\/p>\n<p>After doing the Bird\u2019s Nest Stadium for the 2008 Olympics, he has become critical of the Chinese government and freedom of speech.
