pretty soon, we do now in a way, I’m far from what you would call technologically  
savvy, but even I know. Seems everywhere you go these days we and all aspects of our lives are being collected and tied together, somewhere. You can’t pay a bill at the bank without all your numbers being noted in the banks data base, now that makes sense right, no, not always. A new system arriving at these institutions now require knowledge of your numbers that are not even involved with the actual bill being paid. For instance, say you have 2 charge cards, in good standing the only differences being the actual charge number and one is a newer card. Now if you normally pay the older number (because it’s older, you’ve had it longer) and you go to pay on the newer card they question the number seems they don’t have a record of you paying for that new card number, before. So know you have to enlighten them of the circumstances and they in turn have another contact in your life. Used to be you paid your bill the only problem arose was if you didn’t have the funds, not so anymore. Now they can scan your drivers licence as you drive by, cops can run your plate on their computer and you don’t even know it! Satellites in the sky can watch you. Marketing tags in clothes that track your buying habits, refuse containers with computer chips in them. Pretty soon when a kid’s born as they smack their bottom they’ll be inserting a chip, mom may already have one, they’ll be forever numbered to a certain batch, social register,brain capacity,shopping/food preferences,credit/driving/education history. What else who knows.
