Just because you can do a thing dosen’t make it desirable. Do you or ANY of your readers know what ECHELON is? That it has over 700 listening monitors in all walks of life? Ever heard of the Cray 5 quantum supercomputer linked to 850 sailites , or that these can read a stamp from beyond the highest orbit? You have no idea the the level of evil your taking on, as evidenced by the nature of this video. There is nothing smart about giving your life over to those who would either take your life or control it. If they control it, you will spend eternity wishing you knew better. Never take the vchip. This is the mark of the beast.

This is a horrendous piece of propaganda. We can forgive the water-colors. We can overlook the obvious fascist references. Heck, we can even pretend money, racism, profit mongering and social descent don’t exist. But come on, During the holocaust, IBM’s New York headquarters and CEO Thomas J. Watson acted through its overseas subsidiaries to provide the Third Reich with punch card machines that could help the Nazis track down the European Jewry (especially in newly conquered territory).

Mmm. Love it. Love the watercolor. Thought, who did this? What’s their agenda?Ah! IBM. That’s OK. Maybe it’s better they didn’t disclose up front.

A missing element I see is the role of e-commerce. We don’t have to just move people around, but goods and services via e-commerce.

I am seeing the embedded chip-software they are talking about in, e.g., “intelligent transportation systems” (ITS).

I’m sure all this will continue to evolve.

Wow! this is scary… Hail Technology and modernisation?! no thanks… a single version of reality? not my style…
This video is about techno-fascist tendencies, period!
unsurprisingly, brought to you by IBM…

This video is more than slightly humorous. It uses the words “smarter” and “more intelligent” as bland buzz words. It talks about new systems being implemented without giving any details about the complexities of such systems e.g. the software being used by hospitals, or more specifically, the “dynamic system” being used by police forces. It then goes on to make sweeping generalizations about how these new systems could revolutionize other fields, but without any knowledge of how the systems operate, these claims are totally unsubstantiated.

There doesn’t even seem to be a conlcusion drawn from the video, no dilemma presented, nothing. Just kind of “yup aren’t we smart?” What exactly was the point here other than trying to sound smart? It’s the equivalent of a nine eleven conspiracy video, but instead of being about how we are all doomed, it’s about how we’re all saved.

:Because of the way the film is introduced, I thought the smarter city would be one that has become more socially sophisticated, where people learn to communicate, develop trust, collaborate, share, create and play together, but this video focuses on technologies. While these are helpful they will not get us through the crisis of global warming and peak oil by themselves.

The drawings are fine.”

This video is kind of on point, but I thought it would be more philosophical… We are definately at a pinnacle of human evolution in which technology will shift us from competition to collaboration that will be necessary for us to survive. Honestly, if that illuminati type shit is real, it seems most likely that this shift due to the evolution of technology and therefore human ideas and instutitions is what they are planning for. Well, actually fuck “illuminati” more like Bilderberg and shit like that. lol idk. But it seems to me that there is definately some kind of change in the world that is happening very rapidly that is driven by technology and I think we are on the verge of an intellectual revolution. And, personally (not to offend anyone, this is just my opinion), I think with this will come the end of orthodox religion. There will be a return to metaphysical thinking in place of religion, like the basics of the Eastern “mystic religions”, but more based on philosophy and science. I kind of think we are seeing the end of a cycle of evolution of conciousness within the universe or something. Haha, maybe I’ve been reading too much conspiracy and 2012 New Age and like Hindu/Buddhism stuff haha. Or just smoking too much kush. LOL idk I just hope people start looking at the big picture more as the world kinda globalizes, so that we don’t have some effed up 1984 situation and we can actually solve problems and work together rather than divide into a society of universal enslavement like in dystopia novels. It seems like those are the two ways we can go at this point. Either we all take more action to settle the differences that divide us, or well all kill or enslave each other with our new inventions. I mean IDK, but thats my guess haha.
