But now Big Brother knows every secret, every facet of your life. Who you vote for, who you are shagging, where you drink, where you work, where you shop, and even what you like for breakfast. They can even track your movements, down to the nearest 10 square metres. All they need to do, is tap a couple of keys, and they OWN YOU BITCH! They can even make your everday life, virtually impossible, and confine you to your home, if they so wish, then arrest you and FINE you, even when you have committed no crime. Sometimes, I wish it was 1994 again, when the closest we came to religious fanaticism, was the Mormons knocking on your door, or the Salvation Army Christmas appeal on tv. And CCTV was a thing, but only to catch shoplifters, and general ner-do-wells up to their skullduggery. When a fun size mars bar was the same size as today's regular size mars bar. And car tax was the same price for everybody, not free for those who are lucky enough to afford a brand new car. And it was easy to guess the occupation of somebody wearing a hi viz jacket, not wondering if they could potentially be a government operative, looking for somebody to publicly shame, or fine for inadvertently dropping a cigarette butt. Technology has made our lives easier in some ways, but it has also created a selfish, materialistic attitude in many people, and created a society where our fundamental freedoms are scrutinised and have come under threat. And has proliferated an insidious, over-reaching element to how we are governed.

Its always the way in the UK. Too nany old fuddy duddies in the Lords holding us back, with their "Lets wait and see" mind set. So nothing gets done quickly, and we lag behind when we SHOULD be at the forefront. It is often left to private investors to get projects off the ground, and the end consumer initially pays a fortune, until other private investors start similar projects, creating competition, thus lowering the cost to the consumer. Yet we spend BILLIONS on foreign aid, so the likes of India can have ITS own space program, and we are left gobsmacked, wondering how they do it! If we spent more money at home, we could be world beaters, in many areas. Look at the French Railways, we pioneered the Railways, yet lag behind france by about 40 or 50 years with our creaking infrastructure. And German car production. How is it they are so successful at it, and we failed so miserably, especially from the late 1960's onwards. The Germans had the same competition from the far east, yet still manage to innovate, and succeed at it. Why are we in the UK so different?

@Hugh Jones Thing is, Labour are just as bad. They talk the talk, but borrow so much money, that we end up being crippled with debt. Then they tax the rich who provide the jobs, and they end uo registering in the Cayman Islands to avoid the high taxes. So then the burden falls to the working class, as per. If Labour were less motivated by generating revenue via taxation, and more motivated by job creation/retention, then there would be more people contributing to the pot, instead of taking from it, via welfare etc. And divert NI contributions directly into private healthcare initiatives, instead of creaming their cut off the top, then there would be no need for a tax payer funded NHS, which IS a drain on the public purse. We must also STOP health tourism too, which costs tge NHS/US, about £6bn per year in lost revenue. Because it costs the NHS more to chase up paynents from foreign governments, than the actual treatment given to THEIR subjects, who all too often, piss off back home, once they've aborted the sprog they can't afford to feed, or once they've had their dental work done. Somebody has to pay, and it is always the tax payer who is saddled with the bill. This country needs a complete change in how it generates and allocates public finance. The solutions are simple, but there is no will for radical change, which only serves to leave us lagging behind.

@@Bialy_1 I never said "governments should be creating jobs" although governments do have a responsibility to ensure that job creation is a priority. What I was saying was that governments could do more to encourage private initiatives in infrastructure and manufacturing projects, by allowing temporary tax breaks, or providing enterprise zones on former industrial sites, whereby new developments could spring up, or revitalising those areas so that they are brought back into public use. And just so you know, the INTERNET was developed by various scientists and computer engineers, then helped with funding by the US Government's department of defense. Without US Government assistance, the internet as we know it, may never have gotten off the ground. The idea may well have came from one person. But as often is the case during product development, a collaboration is required to see certain ideas through to fruition. Learn to understand what you are reading pal.

@@Bialy_1 Not to challenge your sentiments, but the Internet was invented by government, specifically the US Department of Defense Advanced Research Agency (DARPA). The reason the Internet succeeded where others failed, and what you aluded to, was: no centralized control. That's because point of the project was to develop at network which could continue to function to despite "multiple catastrophic failures" (ie. nuclear strikes).

It has airbags, ABS brakes, remote control central locking and immobiliser, catalytic converter, almost everything you would expect to find in a 2019 car with maybe less infotainment and more reliability. Fortunately, computers have come a lot further in 25 years than most cars have. (It's a 1994 Toyota Celica.)

I had one, and managed to achieve something in the region of a 20 MHz over-clock..I felt like a king. I mean 20 MHz people would laugh at that today. I also had a Commodore Amiga at home, which I felt was way ahead of its time especially when it came to working with video and titling a lot of which cost zilch thanks to public-domain software.

A lot of it is now on fibre into and through the exchanges to the green cabinet in your street but unless you pay extra for fibre to the premises (fttp) you go back to copper lines to your house.It slows things down immensely. He is right about the old copper phone lines they are still there in telephone exchanges for the phone lines. You have four wires to your house,two for the phone and two for the internet.They are only just starting to bypass the old 1960's exchanges altogether in certain parts of the country.Eventually they will bypass all the smaller exchanges in the distant future.
