Title: Ordering Pizza in a Total Surveillance Society Post by: Terry Johnson on January 19, 2006, 11:48:10 PM ACLU has a great flash movie on their site that presents a scenario from the not-too-distant future in which a poor bloke tries to order his favorite take-out pizza. It's so dead-on that it's actually more depressing and disturbing than funny. Take a look -- it's only a few minutes long. Be sure to pay attention to the info presented on the pizzaria's computer monitor!

1. the paranoid side of me (yes, I'm an X Files generation gal), when I first saw "the net" with Sandra Bullock - I was so hooked and really think that this is/could be happening to me. But I still order my pizza online - its called cookies 2. in response to Mike's comment about knowing how to get into the complex; coming from a property manager standpoint, we have delivery drivers come into the leasing office on a regular basis to both distribute flyers and to find out the layout of the complex so that they can be more efficient in their deliveries. I like this for the fact that I know my residents will be happy to get their pizza on time (or chinese), but I TRUST NO ONE and sometimes the delivery drivers are CREEPY! |
