Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

EVEN BEFORE OUR DATA PROTECTION LAW GETS BORN ?


Nostradamus  could  have  said  ?

-----------------------------------------


In twenty hundred and twenty four

A Sea of Waves will roar,

Light will follow sound :


And , in Smell and Taste

Earth will abound ,


Brain will hide no more

Your secrets gore  !



500 years later , on  07 July 2017 , I re-envisioned above prophesy ( no doubt, cooked up by me ! ) in :




where I talked of how technology is on its way to capture ( from every human being ) ,

·       “ SOUND WAVES “ ( Audio )

·      “ LIGHT WAVES “    ( Video )

·      “ TOUCH WAVES “   ( Feel the SKIN )

·      “ SMELL – TASTE “  WAVES 

·      “ BRAIN WAVES “ ( EEG )  



Even though this might have sounded a bit Nostradamus-like 17 months ago , it seems just around the corner !

Read what Microsoft President Brad Smith said 2 days back :


“For the first time, the world is on the threshold of technology that would give a government the  ability to follow  anyone anywhere, and  everyone everywhere.

It could know exactly where you are going, where you have been and where you were yesterday as well.

And this has profound potential ramifications for even just the fundamental civil liberties on which democratic societies rely.

Before we wake up and find that the year 2024 looks like the book ‘1984,’

let’s figure out what kind of world we want to create, and what are the safeguards and what are the limitations of both companies and governments for the use of this technology.”


 
 Question :

Can we assume that “ Privacy is dead “ , given that ,

OUTDOOR
     *   governments around the World are installing millions of CCTV cameras at every nook and
          corner , to protect its citizens against terrorism

INDOOR
·      Each and every Internet of Things [ IoT ] connected device ( ALEXA / Google Home  do not even remotely resemble a camera ) , would capture our videos 24*7 , and transmit it to the servers of Device Manufacturers / Owners of Operating Systems / App Developers / Service Providers ( ISPs / MSPs )

How much protection would our proposed DATA  PROTECTION  LAW  provide us  ?



Those needing some proof , may want to look up :
