 |
|
Went on the Google Maps site this morning and found that now we have Street View active for lots of cities in the UK!
Here's the back of my bike with top box when it used to be at my parent's house:
Clicky
Can you find yours, especially if you happened to pass/follow one of their cars?  ____________________ CBT February 2008 | A2 June 2008 | Yamaha YBR125 (written off) | Honda CBF125 (current) |

No street view for Portsmouth yet.
I can see my friends place in London though. (Unfortunately neither my bike or theirs is parked outside)  |

Found my place, no bike and no car, so i must've been at work (which isn't covered ) when they came round, but the worst is they came round on Recycle day, so everyone's rubbish is sitting in the street.
Looks even more of a dump than it usually does. ____________________ A Guide To Powerbands |

Your posting privileges are revoked until you have read George Orwell's 1984 and understand the analogy.
Honestly, kids, no culture.  |
Thing is, it's still not really a good analogy. In 1984, the surveillance was generally directed at the middle classes, particularly those in positions of power...the 'lower' classes, iirc, were mainly just left to get on with it. (Going to have to read it again, I think)
Also, the people doing the watching were the government, and in secret, not a private company that happily gives access to all and sundry.
Whenever the subject of CCTV comes up (or Google street View), and Big Brother is mentioned in relation to it, I always feel that the point of 1984 is being missed somewhat. ____________________ A Guide To Powerbands |

To be honest I just can't think of another classic which so neatly capsulates surveillance culture until we get into the eighties and ninties Cyberpunk works.
Time I dusted off 1984 and Animal Farm. ____________________ Kal...
