Yksityisyys

Seurataanko koko maailmaa?

Tuntisitko olosi turvallisemmaksi, jos joku voisi koko ajan seurata tekojasi ja liikkeitäsi? Suostuisitko olemaan ensimmäinen seurattu henkilö?

The question for your video is:

Tagging the whole world?

Will you feel much more secure knowing somebody can monitor each of your acts and motion? Will you accept to be the first to be tagged?

Extreme miniaturization in nanoelectronics may soon allow tracking every single fruit or vegetable from its field to your plate. Thanks to wireless networks and widespread electronic tags, alimentary security will be much more guaranteed. In the meantime, if one could tag a fruit, one could tag a person.

To get started, have a look at the following resources:

Teen Trackers: How new technologies can create issues of trust and privacy, an activity from the Science Museum in London to get used to the scenarios about privacy and monitoring

Here are some examples of contemporary applications of nanotechnology to develop miniature electronic tags:

SmartDust & Ubiquitous Computing

SmartDust applications, from Wikipedia

TrashTrack, a project from MIT to track all the garbage we produce.
