Related to privacy, I just read a NY Times front page column about how cable and satellite broadcasters expect, by next year, to begin targeting commercials to each home, based upon the perceived age, race, ethnicity or viewing habits of that household. Neighbors might watch the same TV program, but see different commercials. The article gave examples such as high-income families seeing ads for Nordstroms, while less-off families see Walmart ads. Something about this doesn't sit right with me. Aside from privacy, this seems to effect a strange and additional force of balkanization of the society. And moreover, it adds to the trend that "we know what you want", rather than allowing the receiving party to decide and select. Sorry if this diverges from IWAR a bit. ___tony___ Tony Bartoletti 925-422-3881 <azb@llnl.gov> Information Operations, Warfare and Assurance Center Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Livermore, CA 94551-9900 ------------------ http://all.net/ Your use of Yahoo!
