When historians write the book on the COVID-19 pandemic, what we’ve lived through so far will probably take up only the first third or so. The bulk of the story will be what happens next.
The world will change a lot and for some reason, our best guess is that the Bill Of Rights will be erased.
Our basic human rights are being destroyed every day and the majority of the American people don’t see this as a threat to our Country and our Constitution.
New technologies are being created to prevent people from getting closer during their work hours and it seems that this is just the beginning
From MIT Technology Review: Andrew Ng’s startup Landing AI has created a new workplace monitoring tool that issues an alert when anyone is less than the desired distance from a colleague.
Six feet apart: On Thursday, the startup released a blog post with a new demo video showing off a new social distancing detector. On the left is a feed of people walking around on the street. On the right, a bird’s-eye diagram represents each one as a dot and turns them bright red when they move too close to someone else. The company says the tool is meant to be used in work settings like factory floors and was developed in response to the request of its customers (which include Foxconn). It also says the tool can easily be integrated into existing security camera systems, but that it is still exploring how to notify people when they break social distancing.

Earlier this month, Reuters reported that Amazon is also using similar software to monitor the distances between their warehouse staff. The tool also joins a growing suite of technologies that companies are increasingly using to surveil their workers. There are now myriad cheap off-the-shelf AI systems that firms can buy to watch every employee in a store, or listen to every customer service representative on a call. Like Landing AI’s detector, these systems flag up warnings in real-time when behaviors deviate from a certain standard. The coronavirus pandemic has only accelerated this trend.
This seems like Big Brother is watching conspiracy that turns into a reality, but maybe they can upgrade the device so it could be programmed to deliver an electric shock to violators, we can never tell what’s next.
Given the fact that most of the American stay quiet during these hard times, our future is not looking good!
Rahm Emanuel allowed us a peek behind the curtain with "Never let a crisis go to waste."
If this doesn't make the hair stand up on your neck, you're asleep.
What a handy tool for avoiding office meetings!
How many people will die because we only stand 6 feet apart instead of 7, or 12?
Maybe shock collars that mutually activate when they get too close to each other.
I think this should be tested by Mandating ALL Public Employee’s install it and FINE them $5 every time a warning goes off.
This is Nobel Prize level of thinking, I tell ya.
“Our basic human rights are being destroyed every day and the majority of the American people don’t see this as a threat to our Country and our Constitution”............Do we have documentation to show proof of the last part of this statement? If we don’t get something moving in this country real soon, then we may not have much of a country left. At that point, what good will all the corona virus precautions do if we don’t have a country?
Compliation of "Demolition Man" Language Violations
That is one of my favorite dystopian movies with humor...:)
Forgot about bundling boards.
We’ll all be living in absolute poverty, hanging ourselves and slitting our own throats because we don’t have food, jobs, houses, or money.
See my tagline...
I suppose this will have some sort of build in exemption for Joe Biden, or he’d be setting it off every time he’s in a room with women and/or children.
Time for more pork and beans 3 times a day. If someone gets too close you know what to do.
If everyone is masked, how will the eeeeevil rule breakers be identified? Will SWAT teams be dispatched?
WTF is the world coming to?
I have never believed that the Stassi from East Germany was totally disbanded. We can see that they are disbursed among the Despicable Party and are coming out of the closet now under the cover of ChiCom virus.
No more hanging out at the water cooler.
