No game...just a new era and culture that will change peoples idea of what 'privacy' is...


"Wireless telephones are popular, but they're the same
sort of bizarre technology as my headphones. If you
have one, you probably know that you're actually
broadcasting your conversations, but you just don't
care. No one seems to worry about it. Maybe people
believe the broadcasts are encrypted somehow,
although it's actually illegal today in the U.S. to
encrypt telephone communications. Nevertheless,
Radio Shack now carries 'spread-spectrum' 900MHz
devices which are supposed to be more secure, and the
FCC is allowing 2.4GHz devices which should be on
the market soon. And yet I have two roommates who
are more techno-savvy than average, and although all
of us know how public wireless phones are, we still
have three wireless phones in the house that I can
overhear on my headphones."
