Remember the \u201ccute\u201d Burger King snafu<\/a> with its commercials triggering personal electronic devices? It was a test, apparently, of a feature they deliberately put into your cell phones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s no problem with remote-control technology being used to control your life at whim, with no requirement of justification under judicial review.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve arrived at a place where public institutions and figures can be precious about their privacy in ways we\u2019re continually deciding individual people can\u2019t.

It\u2019s a cynical inversion of the old association between private life and the lower class: These days, only the powerful can demand privacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The article mentions Orwell<\/a>. In 1984, we\u2019re told that unlike the 2-way TV in Winston\u2019s apartment, the set in O\u2019Brien\u2019s residence could be turned off.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
