Google is rolling out free internet in select areas. Ars Technica has an article about it today. Again, my only criticism of the video is that the threat of google as supreme data miner and owner of "all you base" is ignored. Hacks and hackers will always exist no matter who owns the data. I worry more about the owner.
Only if we let it happen. This same argument could of been set up many times through the ages. Women used to not be able to send letters because they were so controlled by males you could argue mail opened people lives up around the world. Then the telephone. You could be call at any time of day within a moment interrupting peoples lives. Then home cameras. Your private life could be caught and other people could view it. It is only a problem if we let it become one. If
@SpiralOfWhite This is a work of fiction. This is not meant to be a work based on facts or evidence. Much in the way Dr. Strangelove contains reference to actual technology--the atomic bomb. Or Jaws is set on an actual beach. Elements of this film refer to real events/technology, but it is not in a whole plausible that Google will destroy the world with free wi-fi.
@melindarainsberger Oh, okay then, Good job. You had me thinking you were taking yourself seriously, It was very late a night when I saw it and I did not see the details or I would of realized with the"Story written" and the "Lovecraft" tag etc.. I would of understood better.
@melindarainsberger Works of fiction often become more than fiction. Jules Verne's work are a prime example, if you want something more modern you have Neuromancer, that describes pretty accurately the internet phenomenon before it even existed. The age of information is heading towards an increasing over-connection; I wouldn't be surprised if something like this truly happened.
Well done, don't you think that there are laws prohibiting google from accessing our private files, that there are tools upon our computers that can stop other computers from accessing our private files, if your dumb enough to share those with google, on a public network, then you are basically asking to be searched, In short, do the research before declaring to your stupidity to the world
Nice work! I liked the animation effects, like we'll be forced to see annoying little pop-ups everywhere someday whether we want to or not. Creepy story!
To everyone getting up in arms, this film is based on a short story and is intended to be fiction. A lot of you peeps seem to be looking too much into this and need to be slapped with a carp. That is all.
A classic portrayal of someone who doesn't agree with change. I want to a search engine / maps & all information wifi or not. This person probably didn't want the internet in the first place. Did they know that they are broadcasting it on youtube which is own by Google? If it wasn;t for them they wouldn't even be here! Rant over- I like the style, doom & gloom video though just not the idea.
i dont't like this film. it's a wannabe-shocking-pseudo provocating-be afraid of google-thing blabla saw x-times. the narrators voice, post-apocalyptic as if from the future after the "google-world-wars", is trying to create a uncomfortable scenario. this film is not neutral and not stating facts but instead a stupid effect-(over)blown crap. i know people who are living in this world and haven't been tracked by google yet - its all in your hands
Devices might not be wifi. maybe something like 10g cell service. Also, wouldn't google get broken up after the huge antitrust lawsuit filed by the billion dollar telecommunications companies? That's what happened to the phone company back in the day.
Pretty much, my question is, what is the danger of Data, and how can an organization use data which can be easily falsified by the user, when that user feels that the data is being used against them? Then how does the entity sift through relevant data to find the truth? Guess what? I'm a Christian. I'm an a
Atheist. I'm a 28 year old black man. I live in California. <---- All things posted to the net on youtube comments, only 25% correct. Use it against me?
@detheter - The danger is in the correlation of data you surrender knowingly via your profile: name, age, location likes and dislikes (yes it can be falsified) to what you unknowingly surrender... search queries, clicks, circle of friends, health data purchasing history. Google throws NOTHING away. As political situations change, you can potentially be persecuted or at least ostracized. That is the danger. It may not even be google, but someone who inherits/buys the data down the road.
Great, but where is the end game? Your film, while a short film, seems to me a cop out, ignorant of any actual ramifications of pervasive invasions of privacy. I could always just stop going online, and stop doing embarrasing things outside for all the cameras in the world to see. Where are the real world hurtful consequences of the issues raised herein? Thanks for reading.
@detheter - Look at 1930's Germany to understand what the potential consequences of losing privacy are. The Nazi's made jewish folks give up information so they could be tracked and eventually exterminated. Look to more recent genocides to see how ethnic or religious minorities are singled out and persecuted. Now imagine the potential with Google's or Facebook's massive data stores of everyone and everything. Embarrassing is subjective. What is legit today may not be in the future.

whenever google does deside to do anything like this I´m pretty sure they would already be bigger than all the telecom companies together.
Remember Google plans far ahead, their long term goal is estimated to have been completed about 300 years from now.
