locusmag, un article de Cory Doctorow (
Little Brother, Dans la dèche du royaume enchanté) sur l'opposition fréquente entre l'innovation technologique autour d'internet et l'être humain. Les programmes, capteurs, et autres améliorations ne servent selon lui qu'à alimenter les bases de données sur nos habitudes de consommations ou d'utilisation du net.
Even in the Internet of Allegedly Free Things, humans and computers are adversaries. Medical telemetry and implant companies envision selling shockingly intimate facts about your body’s internal workings to data-mining services and insurers. Car companies see their vehicles as platforms for gathering data on your driving, on traffic patterns, and on the sense-able facts of the streets you pass by, to sell it to, you guessed it, data-mining companies and insurers.
Little Brother is watching us ?
