^I saw this earlier this morning. It reminds me of the book “1984” and an episode I saw once of Black Mirror that told of a woman’s social status and daily life being dependent on a social media based rating system. Weird!
I noticed something similar @TeresaP7 ...

I think Black Mirror is a look into our near future. But i'm happy to say that dystopian future won't last long.


China seems to be the one that is maybe a guinea pig in all of this. From what I read and see, they seem to be taking large steps in these areas in more than one way and maybe in ways that other countries would not be comfortable with...yet. Conditioning people to accepting things like this will be down the line.
I think they will just turn off the lights and shut down the grid for a month or two... and when they turn it back on it's all in place just like in China.

If they were serious about this, they would be doing something about their tourists abroad. Some are obviously really quality people.... but the bad behavior of Chinese tourists has become something most ethnicies and nationalities can agree on.
