Big Brother is Watching......

Cameras are everywhere nowadays. The voyeurs have spy cameras in hotel rooms, changing room, toilets. The government have camera on highways, shopping areas, buildings have cameras in their lobbies, parapazzi of course are everywhere. This really remind me of the closing line from Alan Fudd on the Candid Camera: "You never know but somehow somewhere - you might be on candid camera!" Perhaps one day the pervasive reach of the camera will reach into 100% of our lives? Just watch the Truman show and you will know what I mean.

So is reel life going to become real life?

Back here in Singapore, we haven't got to such extreme to film a family daily lives but scientist are putting spy camera to spy on the daily life of.... can you believe it.....

Hornbill...... yes hornbill, not Horny Bill but hornbill as in the bird with the big beak and I don't mean big pecker:)

One small step for Singapore one giant step towards loss of privacy?

What will they think of next? Put a camera in a house to observe how a family live, what they eat, what they do, what they failed to do? Actually I think that has happened in some TV program in the US already?

Ha ha ha.. anyway, for those who die die need to know what the hornbill does in its house, oops I mean nest - it's up on Youtube! Enjoy the show
