ok, we get it, yeah you too

Here is a company that uses facial recognition to spot past club violators to get them out before they cause more problems. Right now it is being marketed for clubs, but why not extend that? Parking lots, hotels, restaurants, airports, etc. Not only will you be watched, but the person watching could know who you are, and a background of you through facial recognition. Kindof creepy, but I find it more comforting than anything.
OK, I have already established that the internet is killing the music industry for the better, but what about television? You already get everything from one single provider...why not have a TiVo type computer hooked up to your TV with an internet connection linked to a database of television and movies. Sounds familiar, and everyone is leaning that way, but it will just take a while. But OnDemand and TiVo are definitely taking a step in that direction. And OK, cable will probably still exist along with internet, simply not broadcast television. The only reason broadcast is still alive is because advertisers still value it. I sure don't.

Just for fun, here's a website where a guy documents his experiment: he sends 100 letters ($39 in stamps) to miscellaneous companies asking for freebies. Result? $229 of freebies.
