The Unflat World

This is a response to some of the things i thought were interesting. First. was how he was talking about how technology interferes with everyday life and how it makes to world place where there isn't privacy. Talking about how because cell phones have cameras people are taking pictures of people in locker rooms and what not. " Whatever the innovation, people will find a way to use it and abuse it." I FEEL THIS STATEMENT IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE, AND WHEN I FIRST GOT MY CAMERA PHONE I CANNOT LIE AND SAY I WASN'T ONE OF THE ABUSERS! It's funny but true!
But later down the page, page 534. He also says "things aren't all bad with this new technology," " Cameras were not allowed, (in certain places) but cell phones were." Talking about a concert he went to and and everybody took out their cell phones to take pictures of Jimmy Buffet.

Comments:
Which is the bigger threat? Governement surveillance or indviduals with cellphones uploading photos to blogs?

How does it change the concert experience if the whole audience is using cellphones to capture the event and network with their friends at the same time?
