A MILLION LITTLE BROTHERS community watch 2.0

Nobody wants a police state of hundreds of cop cameras all over the urban landscape.

but hundreds of people who want to protect their own block will do it for them.

In Urban enviroments with ubiqitous wireless networks, coupled with welfare internet rates to deal with digital divides, big brother is out of a job.

when all you need is a $10 web cam pointed on the street, with the datastream being saved online no corner will be safe.

The Gov't won't even have to deal with it, it will be all volunteer based, people with the cameras will monitor them and can even quietly register their locale with the police so when a shooting happens outside the police can access the proper web cam archive.

It creates a no-snitching situation.

the images will testify for themselves, the citizens who host the cameras will never have to enter a court or make them selves known in the real world. this will add to the criminal's paranoia as there will be no one to coerce after the fact.

even wireless cameras that create their own IP address can be placed freely and randomly throughout the city.

Lunch Money is stupid

Can you believe that "helicopter parents" give their kids cash to by cheeseburgers at the school cafeteria? its stupid.

I want to give my kid a debit card that i can refill over the internet, I expect that card to be good at all the vending machines and cafeteria and even surrounding eateries. I expect to be able to go on the web and track how many chili fries my fat bastard ate in a day, and a nutritional breakdown of said chili fry consumption.

I expect nutritional marketers (coke, pepsi and crisco) to pay for all of this for the liberty to track millions of fat teenagers eating habits. I then expect them to reward my little bobby hill points for healthy eating.

and because were talking about the future, I want the kids to stick the cards into excercise equipment and track their workout habits.

the card should also grant them internet access and i want to look at that.

Portable Telephonic Computing

Why can't my watch talk to my phone?

I want a minibrick sized qwerty keyborded prime console. I want to keep that in my Man Bag. I expect that minibrick to have a bluetooth earpiece, and I want a bluetooth watch that displays whose calling, weather, calender events with alarm, stock price alarm, and other "at-a-glance" info bursts. I expect the watch to be assorized with, bands, faceplates, skins, etc. The Minibrick only sees the light for the web and typing, the service provider should give me web based applications like google documents.

This can be done right now, will sombody just do it allready
