  • Abstract
    Corporate marketers have promoted technologies as means to monitor the behavior of all manner of things. Governments have suspended their disbelief and permitted agencies to buy technologies and install monitor systems. Some corporations have imposed similar schemes on their employees and their customers. The old concepts of private, controlled, and public places have given way to private, controlled, and public spaces.
