2009 Or 1984? (techno, Fingerprint, track, quote, Hang)

It seems to me that every week something else appears which takes away some more of our public freedom. Last week it was Face Identification in schools; a month before that it was announced there could be a change in the Law, so that if you bought a new mobile phone they would log your details in such a way that they could trace your every move. I have received loads of surveys from Local Govt, the NHS - you name it; they all want to know stuff that's none of their business anyway. Am I getting paranoid or do the new breed of Signs that are appearing at road junctions have cameras fitted? The words "Nanny State" conjure up something safe and comforting. I don't think so..
