Technology is fucking brilliant, the phones, the tvs, the cars, the cgi, the medical break throughs  the smart homes, the smart cities, the internet.

Never before has the world been so connected – as soon as an album or a single released you can download it onto your device and play it, you can watch on multi[le screens tv or films all over your house, forget to put your heating on? Just ping it a message.

This is all great but how much do we really know about the information we share,  be it banking, emails, text messages, let alone the thousands of social media applications.Photos of ourselves, our food, our pets, our kids, our friends and loved ones.

Where is all this information being stored? Who is analyzing it? Who is using/selling it and what for and to who?

When we use our ‘Google Maps’ to find where we are going are you telling me that Google don’t now have a log of where we are, where we have been?

When I was a teenager some years or so ago, I couldn’t wait to gain my independence, be it catching a bus, driving  a car, boarding a plane away from home, friends, family. To explore and always have them in my heart as I stumbled and crawled back from the pub or gig. Seems I am not alone in this as it is our natural want to explore, make a mark for ourselves, discover new things.

Now we just look to our little bag of tricks, be it the phone, ipad, laptop, tv, smart box, Amazon aid thing, Hive thing . Where the fuck will it end? How long will it be until anyone at any time will be able to get any information about you, me, the banks, the military, the nuclear codes……….

As I said technology is very cool, but just be careful how much you think you are ‘saving’ be it time or money in the short term with the latest gadget or app.

Sooner or later we will not have to think for ourselves as the machines will do it for us.

Be very fucking careful, don’t believe the hype as you may well have the world at your fingertips but now the world has you at theirs.

What are your onions?
