h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

In what seems to be yet another sweeping wave of genius on behalf of the Perth City Council, it has just today come to light that all 83 of the surveillance cameras in the Inner City that observe almost every moment of our daily lives will soon be connected to the Internet for all and sundry to see. Talk about your basic, run of the mill Orwellian nightmare come to life! Now, i don't know about anyone else, but I see this gesture as a disgusting invasion of privacy (or at least what was left of it) that can and probably will only lead to 'bigger, better things'. Any fool can see that this whole debacle is just a 'testing of the waters' as far as the public reaction is concerned, but then again, this is the kind of place that is run by overprivileged morons with too much money and haven't had an inkling of what the people really want for about 150 years. Thus, it really doesn't matter WHAT we say, or would say, if anyone had the fortitude to say anything at all here. Mr Orwell, I tip my hat to you. It seems you were a bit of a prophet....
