on a Tee Vee extrapolation perhaps, friend's rented movie?? Theme was the development of a device which permitted mostly-unDetectable sight/sound monitors to be emplaced anywhere / anywhen. (I tend to ignore the actors, title and much plot detail in these - unless there is very good character fleshing-out, such as might qualify for 'memorable'. How's that for an excuse re creeping senility? ;-)
Anyhow, and prior to reading above, if I do: of course the march of techno- IS now inexorable. Undisciplined by any entrepreneurial ersatz-thought experience besides, Can? we do thi$$$: it $hall be done. Look around.
Only for those at the forefront of constant daily 'security anti-techno' nostrums: might there be a small respite from a 10+billion crowded planet filled with Enquiring Minds Which (having no authentic life) Want to Know..
{sigh}
Am I close (to the plot) ?
