It was back in 1999 that a friend told me that this day was coming. It's one of the reasons I dont even own a smart phone. And for 17 years, I don't post anything in chat or text or private conversation that I would not be comfortable with it being broadcast to the entire world. It's a shitty way to live -- but I'm glad that I got the heads up at the time. My friend was a founding member of the Electronic Freedom Frontier out of the Bay Area of San Francisco.
