1967 Article on Data Privacy and Security

2008-04-03 06:35:49 by schneier in Schneier on Security

An eerily prescient article from The Atlantic in 1967 about the future of data privacy. It presents all of the basic arguments for strict controls on data collection of personal information, and it's remarkably accurate in it's predictions of the future development and importance of computers as well all of all of the ways the government would abuse them.

Well worth reading.
