A- and what makes it more worrisome is that in the future,
because of its convenience and ease of use, corporations are
beginning to make us and the economy in general more and
more dependent on the internet. living and working will require 
more and more internet access. Money is becoming replaced
by internet transactions, which necessitate a greater measure
of transparency, and can be tracked- easy passage to a whole

No one cares about the proles, of course.
