morning already, all registered, registered, microchipped and monitored ... But what if this security would be an illusion after all? What if the weapons are to protect, suddenly turned against its creators? Achievements, weaknesses, risks and contradictions of a technological flight forward. Today we can see exactly what an Internet user on the Web, for example, which images it loads when and on what server. Visited sites, online shopping, downloaded files, read stories and so on. Experts in new technologies attract a disturbing balance of the measures for monitoring of the individual. Tracking and identification tools are in fashion - from Beijing to Paris and from Tunis to Berlin. Very popular are viruses and hacker programs that take control of PCs, webcams and microphones and at home or at work invade people's privacy. The total surveillance is already a reality in the computer world - even if no one sees and no one notices!
meeting Pierre Gattaz, chairman of the Association of French electronics industry: "In our democratic society, security is often perceived as a restriction of personal freedom, it must be achieved that the population of the technologies such as biometrics, video surveillance. and checks accepted. "Biometric techniques are more and more companies and institutions to implement, often without the permission of the DPA. The film shows examples in a hospital, a school and a municipal government. speaking the unions of" spying "and have new diseases Stress and constant monitoring point. The fallibility of biometric technologies and the risks of data theft are subject. A man can change his password, but not his fingerprint, his retina print, or its DNA. This make hackers for their own purposes or in support of criminal organizations advantage. The new technologies create new risks.
In the United States is committed Katherine Albrecht to the identification of radio waves (Radio Frequency Identification, RFID). Warns you of the restriction of individual freedom under the pressure of the industry: the producers, Albrecht want to use any product in a microchip in order to determine exactly when, and where buying which products. In this way they learn unnoticed into the consumer habits of the consumer. The RFID revolution is in full swing, and microchips are in our everyday lives, research centers and hospitals already ubiquitous. In Europe and America has even already begun to implant microchips into the human body. The documentation shows for the first time, as an implanted chip is removed. Then it leads to Mexico, which plays in the field of chip implants a similar pioneering role as London in video surveillance. Alone in Mexico City, around 1,000 people, an implant, usually for medical reasons. An expert on geolocation talks about future applications that can be tracked in real time by combining the RFID chip with a GPS transmitter chipped the object or person. Kidnappings in Mexico experience a boom that some companies offer their employees free geolocalization.
The film raises the question of what price we may have a false sense of security are willing to pay. Each of the new technologies may not in itself appear to control, but how will the company in 10 or 15 years, when aggregated, all these systems are used?
