Cool Network: Networking Cool
October 20th 2008 11:11
I have often thought that if we could hook up up thousands or millions of PCs across the country or around the world we might have an interesting monitoring network that could track or detect phenomena of which we are now not sufficiently aware.
We could track the effects of solar flares across the face of the earth or monitor changes in electromagnetic fields due to earthquakes or the passage of chemical contaminants across international borders. Imagine not having to trust governments to detect and report the spread of pollutants or drugs, but having that power in the hands of average citizens. Who knows, it might be a way to keep government honest for a few days.
Governments of the world would soon unite to create a virus to eat the system. You know government does not want to be watched. They want to make sure they are the only ones legally allowed to do the watching.
