Social Credit System-- We all are in alot of trouble.

I'd recommend a movie for everyone; "The Lives of Others." It's an German film about an East German citizen who is placed under surveillance by the Stasi, for reasons completely unknown to the Stasi officer who is running the operation. It's a shocking film, considering the number of German friends I have who actually grew up with this being their daily reality. It presents a frighteningly clear image of what it's like living in a totalitarian society, where the slightest slip of the tongue can cause a person to "disappear." The interviews at the conclusion are also more than a little bit disconcerting, when one of the former Stasi officers mentions that at the height of East Germany's powers, they had teams to conduct a total of about 30 full-on surveillances depicted in the film. He made the comment that if they (the Stasi) had the electronic monitoring capabilities present here in the US today, East Germany would never have fallen.
 
Stupid criminals bragging on facebook, walking like wolves among the unarmed sheep. Yeah , use facial tech and nab them .

My daughter has a low fico score and after putting herself through nursing school of her rn degree 4 yrs ago still can't get hired. .. makes more managing a bar for friends .. . But society lost a damn good nurse

It's a fiction series on Netflix that deals with a lot of interesting things like the scenario above. It's a modern day The Twilight Zone. Below is a link on more information about the episode I was referring to:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosedive

Here's a quote from the Plot section:

"Society uses a technology where, through eye implants and mobile devices, everyone shares their daily activities and rates their interactions with others on a one-to-five star scale, which affects that person's overall rating. One's current average can be seen by others and has significant influence on their socioeconomic status."

I was digging that thick redhead in that episode. ;)

I would have still dated her after her 1 star rating!

Technology is the best and worst thing for man.

That’s what every girl my age looks like now anyway. Can’t pull them away from their phones. You go up with confidence and tell them they are pretty and ask them out, you’re labeled as a Harvey Whinstein. You find them on an app, put up some doctored photos of yourself and swipe right on them, boom your “netflix and chillin” the next day. We are so screwed as a society.
