The End of Privacy

In the future, shadows will haunt your every move (via PeterThink).

Translucent concrete is an interesting idea, and not something I ever would have thought of, but it seems a little too retrocool for me. For a long time now, things have been cool because they are somehow less visible than the previous version, from Tupperware to infinity pools. What’s the ideal we’re aiming for? Living in some future-space like Magneto’s Prison where I can see through everything is just going to make me dizzy. What’s worse, my child-like sense of wonder is based on not being able to see around (or through) every corner, and if I haven’t got that, it’s over for me.

    Say what you will about people who live in glass houses; I think this stuff is really cool. I first read about it a few years ago in an architecture mag and I’ve been waiting for it to see the light of day (no pun intended).

    Don’t even front. That pun was definitely intended. I know you and your kind.

    No, really. It just came out that way.

    I’m ashamed it took me this long, but a quick email to Katie will get you thinking about fascism. Shouldn’t a reference to the end of privacy have more to do with the current administration than flimsy concrete?
