Some similarities I saw between the movie and 1984 were scary. It sounds as though we are becomming a survelience society just like in the book 1984. Monitoring our search engines and how far or where we travel. It sounds a little too close to 1984 for comfort.
I think that the internet searches being kept was a little too extreme. I understand that in the case where a man had his wife murdered it came in handy, but I can just see it turning into a big brother thing; how far will it go. I think that there has to be another way to prove someone guilty instead of watching what a person looks up. Also, the rental cars tracking devices seems insaine. I mean why monitor the cars when if something happens they get a brand new car and when loaned out the contract says nothing about being monitored. Isn't that a little bit invasive.
However, I think that if used correctly and not menicingly the Biometric Technologies and the face recognition technologies are amazing. They could seriously help in catching criminals, halting identity theft and possibly speeding up the airline securtity. At the same time having convinient uses like checking into work - that's what my work uses, and it's faster than having to fill out a time card.
