Little Brother is Watching

This is neither here no there as to any opinion about anything concerning social media; it is just written chuckle, a result of irony in a nutshell. I remember when I was in school, oh long ago, there was a lot of talk and speculation about the future. You know, “1984” and “Brave New World” and the admonishing that if Big Brother wasn’t watching now, he certainly would be in the future.

Well, I’m certain Big Brother is observing and compiling a lot of information, but what struck me this morning is the number of cell phone camera videos made by all of us, and some catching embarrassing or offensive behavior. All Little Brother has to do is post it to the Internet and BOOM.

So Big Brother may be watching everything, but Little Brother is everywhere. I don’t think I expected it all those years ago.
