Your future surveillance state
In China, cameras and facial recognition are used to identify criminals and – more importantly, perhaps – scare people into staying in line.
In the West, we hear stories of technology like this being tested from time to time, but there's nothing as comprehensive as the Chinese system.
Civil liberties organisations in the West would baulk at any government that tried to roll this out... for now.
Authoritarianism is on the rise in parts of the West, and even in more liberal states, we may sleepwalk into total government surveillance.
If you’re thinking 'that all sounds very Orwellian,’ remember that surveillance in '1984’ extended into the home, with cameras and microphones installed to monitor citizens’ private time.
We’re already helping to set that up by rushing to buy smart speakers and internet-connected security cameras.
The surveillance state of the future will be partly our fault.

💻 Surface Go: A posh netbook and a gateway drug
One phrase wouldn’t leave my mind after reading about Microsoft’s new Surface Go tablet: ‘posh netbook.’
Ten years ago, the joy of having a tiny little PC you could carry anywhere, running full Windows XP (perfectly acceptable for the time!) was incredible. The novelty wore off, as netbooks simply weren’t powerful enough for sustained use.
The Surface Go updates that 'desirable, underpowered PC’ idea for 2018.
You certainly won’t be running high-end games on it, but as a way to carry a lightweight PC around wherever you go, it looks very tempting indeed.
But that 'netbook’ analogy just won’t go away. Will its slow processor end up frustrating users? We’ll have to wait for the first reviews, but for Microsoft, maybe it doesn’t matter.
Surface Go has another purpose – it’s the perfect 'gateway drug’ for Windows 10 for dipping your toe back into Windows 10 if you're a Windows-curious Mac user.

💰 Rich beyond reason
Yesterday, news broke that Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is now not only the richest man in the world, but a whole $50bn ahead of second-place Bill Gates. Quite frankly, that kind of accumulation of wealth in an individual is unsettling.
Bezos’ $143.1 billion net worth isn’t all cash he can spend whenever he wants, but why should it sit on his balance sheet when there’s so much that needs improving about the world?
People should be able to do well from the businesses they build, and that means that some people who run particularly successful companies will become incredibly wealthy. But there comes a point where you look at that kind of wealth and think about what could be done with it if it was being put to use to make the world better.

🍔 Rage against the burger maker
The Verge has an in-depth look at the burger-making robots that are the main attraction at San Francisco restaurant, Creator. The piece offers a balanced approach to the idea that these machines will replace human jobs, but there’s no escaping the fact that ‘burger bots’ are a very real frontline face of automation.
Optimists love to say that automation is nothing new, and that it only ever offers new opportunities for humans by giving us new roles.
But technological progress accelerates ever onwards, and the coming wave of automation may happen so fast that we can’t find enough jobs to replace those it devours. And what happens then?
When we talk about automation taking jobs, it’s often in the context if artificial intelligence – 'invisible’ software replacing existing human roles. Burger-making robots show that, if automation causes significant unemployment, there will be plenty of real machines to rage against.
