Wired columnist Mr Howard Bloom wants to embrace the Total Information Awarness project. Mr Bloom puts it:
"TIA promises search engines that will consign Google to the Stone Age. TIA's dialog technology will listen to your words, then link you to a trove of data that makes today's Web look like the library of an illiterate."

"History proves that nearly every American military invention smaller than a house eventually made its way to the general public."
I am not sure I appreciate this view. Do I really want my kid brother to run a TIA search on me? The next family dinner might turn out to be unpleasant to my disadvantage. Luckily, one may always return to pure physical power when it comes to one's kid brother - but what about the rest of the world's inquiring minds? Should we really feed them - with everything?
