andrewduckerHaving just watched this 9 minute clip of The Daily Show, concerning bloggers bringing down hypocritical members of the US press, two things spring to mind:
1) Why the hell isn't there a political show as good as that over here in the UK?
2) We really are very nearly in The Transparent Society - we now have cameras pretty much everywhere, phone cameras/digital cameras everywhere else, and tiny, constantly recording cameras are just on the edge of possibility. It won't be long before you won't be able to say or do anything without it being possibly public knowledge. Fortunately, neither will 'they'.
