@stutek well, in a "smart city" there will be rfid readers every few feet or so. so, WHY NOT GET CHIPPED ? then they can build a personalized database around everything you do and when you do it ! then, correlate it with everyone else's personal database ! all this just for YOU ! YOUR own personal profile which only you, the government, and ibm can see. AND... AND... you will be free ! ;)
@stutek you tell me that anonymity lets bad people get away with bad stuff. bad people get away with bad stuff in PLAIN SIGHT *EVERY DAY* ! so, do we all have to suffer for THEM ? i love my anonymity and my privacy. i will fight until death for it ! i will also fight until death for everyone else to have this beauty of a treasure such as anonymity and privacy including yours.
Technology can actually help you to free yourself: check out video titled "What is ripple pay".
My personal goal is to empower and raise independence of individuals though. So we as individuals have the power to be independent of centrally managed services:
- private OneSocialWeb nodes instead of Facebook, Twitter or Google+
- Ubuntu private cloud instead of Google, Azure, Amazon, iCloud
I believe independence is a requirement for freedom.
After getting my own home, next on the plan is to get "off the grid". To stay connected, but independent as much as possible. Unrestricted and comfortable access to knowledge on the web makes it possible.
Credit goes to wikipedia, youtube, whole open source community ...
Oh and opensource can provide 8x cheaper hardware for civilization - check out the video "Marcin Jakubowski: Open-sourced blueprints for civilization"
Corporations are a miniature dictatorships. I am trying to become a freelancer programmer so I will not have to work for an incompetent and parasitic boss.
I am working on a design that would allow anyone to become a freelancer for any type of work. Pervasive internet and computing can make it a reality. Technology can set people free or enslave us. It is up to us to choose the path.
Predicting what the residents of cities will do next would only take the current trends/patterns and introduce new opportunities or ideas to that group of people.
How about you just leave us the hell alone? Build your own "smart" city and move there and stay out of our business! Control freaks: always the same people, age after age, generation after generation. JUST - GO - AWAY.
Are there any publically available case studies to reference? Another well done video in the abstract. I'd like to have a better handle on what other cities have done before approaching my own city leaders.

I applaud IBM for pushing the borders, but why don't you market more of WHY not WHAT?

anonymity does not equal freedom
anonymity lets people get away with doing bad stuff

About freedom:
Corporations are a miniature dictatorships. I am trying to become a freelancer programmer so I will not have to work for an incompetent and parasitic boss.
I am working on a design that would allow anyone to become a freelancer for any type of work. Pervasive internet and computing can make it a reality. Technology can set people free or enslave us. It is up to us to choose the path.

@stutek but technology will ultimately enslave us because of human nature.

@stutek AND, i forgot to add, being anonymous is the opposite of being watched.
