My current internet connection makes watching videos painful, but I'll check it out later when I've got a faster connection.

But the title itself: "The Road to Big Brother is Paved by Convenience" is right on target. People are giving up their information dozens of ways with grocery store "membership cards", "Fast Track" commuter devices, direct deposit paychecks, GPS enabled phones, and many many other ways.

I find this to be one of the most frightening aspects of modern life and it's getting harder and harder to avoid. And it's all being done in the name of "convenience".

If that's not what the video is about ... please ignore this post.

The title is correct in this case and so are you.
Right now my DSL won't carry embedded videos at all.
I can go to youtube and they play pretty good. Compared to my old dial up, I'm driving a space ship.
AT&T keeps torturing me to accept wireless. I've days without service at all.
In the end, I'm sure they will break me unless I find a way to break from them.
We may be hopelessly enslaved, we are enslaved, to bells and whistles that tell us what to think.
Someone should make an app that warns pedestrians when they are walking, aimlessly engrossed, into traffic. copyright on that idea.

That's why, my recent indulgent excursion back to steam. Steam punk is hip, these days. That's a good sign, imo.
I didn't care that much for steam when I was around it. I've handled some working steam engines as an engineer and a hostler.

No, I don't mean anyone let me drive one. I also never took RPG fire while driving one. I wouldn't know how.
Uncle Pete, (Union Pacific Railroad) started running steam specials after the 1976 Centennial.

The first was a working engine in 76.
it was kind of sad, really.
One of the oldest engineers was selected on different sections to escort the little train, all the way from Cheyenne.
I believe it was the 8444. A smaller engine than the Challenger...

Ok, this has gone off track.
You are correct, Bob.
Everything is tracking you.
Samsung TV's are recording your private conversations and selling the information to third parties.

Phone companies have been doing this for years. All of your friends are 'wired'.
We are living in a panopticon that makes George Orwell spin in his grave.
Our house is on fire.
