Civil Rights

one particular topic ont echnologyu in civil rights is that of the compulsory ID cards. the main poroblem of the ID cards is that they can contain a lot of information which is in a database, many people feel that this is not good as people may not want certain amounts of information to be available to people they do not wish to be seen.
however the cards can be seen as a good as they can provide alot of information about people if they were in an accidenty, it could provide information like allergies to medication, their blood type etc.

overall i think ID cards are a good idea a the can provide useful information, however i do feel only certain information should be available.

Future TV

in the next 20 years i think that the tv experience will be one that we will nev er forget. i think that technology will be so far advanced that we will truly feel like we are part of the program or film we are watching. 3D will be old with 4D taking precidence, making you feel things as they happen.
