What if your smartphone, smart TV, and
computer were monitoring your activities to the point that it
affected your social standing, your ability to get a job, and even
which transportation you were allowed to use? What if you were
essentially labeled a loser through this system because you spent too
many hours during the week playing video games, or had accrued too
much credit card debt? What if having the "loser" label
meant that your phone would ring with a ringtone that shamed you
publicly and alerted others around you to your lower status. This
might sound like an Orwellian, dystopian sci-fi movie, but it is
reality in one country, and could eventually be coming to a theater
near you...
