Yes, he never fully anticipated the degree technology would help make
that totalitarian society possible so easily, but he also didn't realize
it would take an additional 20 years to get there due to PITAs like
myself who spend a lot of time fighting these issues.  I am currently
involved in a complaint with our provincial gov't over medical and
financial privacy issues which are being brought forward by our
provincial privacy commissioner.
