Open Source Sensing Initiative Eyes How Sensors Affect Privacy and More

,----[ Quote ]
| No matter where you are, there are more sensors around you than you may 
| realize. Inexpensive, but driven by processors that are maturing at a fast 
| clip, they monitor the brake pads in your car, the sprinkler systems in the 
| office, and can monitor motion, heat, and much more. Sensors are being 
| deployed in security systems and airports all around the world, among many 
| other places. Futurists believe that sensors will increasingly be embedded 
| inside of us to monitor our physical systems and communicate information 
| about them wirelessly to our mobile devices.

Who Pays for Imposing Openness?

,----[ Quote ]
| There are two kinds of openness: the one embraced willing, and the other that 
| is imposed. The former comes about because, for whatever reason, people or 
| institutions see that it is ultimately in their interests to be more open (or 
| that by resisting transparency they only make things worse). Imposed openness 
| requires people who get digging to find out those things that others don't 
| want found, and to make them known anyway.
