1984 is literally only a decade away...watch the movie minority report and decide for yourself if the stuff in that move will NOT happen in our lifetime...I’m betting the farm that it will...
Today is the anniversary of “George Orwell”’s death, btw.
I was so looking forward to Minority Report. I thought that the government would be able to predict crimes ahead of time by way of recording as much as possible and running it through a very sophisticated computer algorithm.
Instead we got some freakish mermaid and mermen in a bog predicting the future a la Jonathan Edwards or Uri Geller.
No, thank God, Minority Report will never happen.
But an Orwellian state where the government is constantly gathering info, and then processes it effectively to control our lives is definitely in the cards.
I want Tom Cruise to be arrested in my lifetime. That would be a good “popcorn moment” right there!
