(Vinge, 1993) Vinge also predicted a stage en route to the Singularity where networked, embedded, and location-aware microprocessors provide the basis for a global panopticon. (Vinge, 2000; Wallace, 2006) Vinge has remained steadfastly positive about the possibilities presaged in this era: “...collaborations will thrive. Remote helping flourishes; wherever you go, local experts can make you as effective as a native. We experiment with a thousand new forms of teamwork and intimacy.” (Vinge, 2000) Such systems are not only on the immediate horizon; they are patented and commercially available in the prototypes coming from the labs and companies founded by scientists such as Pentland, Maes and Rekimoto, each of whom is emphatic about the need to implement and insure privacy in the potentially panoptic systems they have developed. (Sense Networks, “Principles”).
