Q from 007 SkyFall Movie Knows the Power of Biometric Technology

2012-11-14T11:00:00.001-08:00

Maybe Jame Bond's "Q" is on to something?

In new Bond movie 'SkyFall" the high-tech gadget inventor "Q" introduces Bond to a Biometrically secure handgun which will only operates with Bond's palm print biometric signature. At first Bond's response is lack luster as if he does not really appreciate this powerful technology handed to him. Of couse, like in all Bond movies "Q's" invention proves most useful on his mission.

My accessment is:

As vynol records and 8-track tapes were replaced, almost overnight, by introduction of CD/DVD Rom disk and drives (digital technology); Biometric technology (using ones unique fingerprint to secure a device) will also replace common computer hardware devices like USB flash disk (thumb drives) and hard drives. Unprotected digital stored data on a hard disk or disk is fodder for identity thieves. If you lose your disk, you might be compromised. Bond might snub his new biometric handgun, but biometric security and technology is only in its infancy commercially. You may not carry around triple level security data on your portable USB flash disk, but you probably carry letters, documents or emails with personal or even financial information included. Let us not forget about our coveted smart phones or Ipads with built-in GPS software tracking which can track us, or someone else, around world.

If ones believes the world will become are more peacefull place due to the advent of technology invading our lives, then I guess one should not be too alarmed about potential breach and missuse of privacy.

How to Find Vehicle Surveillance Threats to Your Privacy

2012-04-23T11:02:00.000-07:00

In today's high-tech and security driven environment, tracking devices and even cellular phones can be used as vehicle tracking tools. Some tracking devices are small and can be easily hidden. Protecting one's vehicle from potential threats of technical surveillance or monitoring devices requires systematically searching the vehicle to discover any hidden devices. In addition, knowledge of which types of devices might be deployed as tracking devices will prove invaluable. The most common types of technical vehicle surveillance devices deployed are GPS Trackers. GPS tracking devices are high-tech devices designed to track or monitor the movement of a vehicle. Some GPS tracking systems are designed to track company fleet vehicles and provide valuable fuel consumption data consumption which can be used to reduce high fuel cost. Other types of GPS trackers, using same basic functions, can be placed covertly and hidden inside a target vehicle. Once installed the GPS tracker can relay accurate tracking information on where the vehicle is or has traveled via SMS text or in real-time to a terminal computer. The computer system visually displays the GPS information detailing where the vehicle has traveled. GPS tracking devices can also store tracking data obtained for later retrieval and analysis. The information collected is very specific and can be used to determine how the target vehicle was driven by specifying how fast or how slow the vehicle was driven. This type of information can aid a surveillance team later when actively following the target vehicle, given GPS tracking data acquired indicating how and where the vehicle was driven.

GPS trackers also have a feature called GEO fencing which sends an alert if the vehicle leaves a specific targeted area. GPS Geo fencing is a powerful surveillance tool which allows the user to contain and monitor the target within a specific area without taking any action unless the target leaves the area.

In addition to GPS trackers, various wireless radio frequency transmitters can be deployed. These technical surveillance devices are small and can be easily concealed on a target vehicle to monitor and record conversations inside the vehicle. Radio frequency transmitters have a limited range between 300 meters – 1,500 meters. Therefore, a surveillance team must be on location or actively following the target vehicle. Reflective tape is another type of tracking product used to track a target vehicle. The tape is composed of special reflective materials used to tag a target vehicle. Once a target vehicle is tagged an infrared laser beam is used to track the target vehicle day or night. Also, certain chemicals compounds can be applied to a target vehicle, which are undetectable by the naked-eye. The chemical compound has reflective properties allowing an infrared laser beam source to target or track the vehicle. Though undetectable, a regular car wash will neutralize the threat. To perform an inspection for vehicle surveillance devices systemically search the vehicle as follows: • Look underneath the vehicle and search for suspicious devices attached • Look under and examine bumpers of the vehicle both front and back • Look under the vehicle license plates both front and back • Look inside the tail pipe • Check for any kind of tape placed on the vehicle • Lift the hood and check the engine compartment for any technical surveillance devices • Check inside the vehicle under all seats • Check the roof and glove compartments • Check inside the trunk paying close attentions to wires or lines which may indicate hidden compartments A regular and careful search will lend adequate protection against possible technical vehicle surveillance threats. However, this procedure requires time, practice and knowledge of surveillance devices used. Some technical spying devices can be placed on a target vehicle by an auto mechanic conducting a supposed routine vehicle check. A mechanic could be commissioned or recruited by a surveillance team. The mechanic could potentially place surveillance devices inside the vehicle which cannot be easily found. If technical surveillance threats are suspected,anyone having access to the vehicle in question could be a potential threat. To protect against potential technical surveillance threats parked the vehicle in a controlled area with limited access. If possible, an electronic perimeter system should be setup which would alert the owner should anyone try to gain access the vehicle. There are several other electronic means of protecting a vehicle against surveillance threats or attempts. However, systematically searching the vehicle regularly would yield the best protection against possible technical vehicle surveillance threats. Technical surveillance gear is often used legitimately by fleet companies like, cab companies, courier and limousine companies to monitor and control how company vehicles are being used. However, same technical devices can be deployed for active surveillance or clandestine reasons. Understanding the basic types of vehicle tracking devices and use can help significantly to limit the potential of vehicle surveillance threats.

Having a Healthy Level of Suspicion in These Dangerous Times

2012-04-20T10:43:00.000-07:00

At one point in time, I would have stated that any type of surveillance and spying was simply creepy and intrusive. In many cases, I still hold that point of view; I do not believe that I am automatically entitled to information about some person's activities simply because I am curious, or because I am nosy. However, when it comes to my business and my family, the rules are different. For me when these two things are involved, the rule is Use Spying Gear Information is Power. One does not even need to approach situations being paranoid or expecting or wanting to catch anybody doing anything that is inappropriate, dishonest, illegal, or dangerous.

Many people I know who have used spying gear, devices have had their faith in humanity bolstered, when they learned that the people they wanted to trust were indeed trustworthy. Others who weren't so fortunate were able to rescue themselves from financial loss and extreme emotional distress. All of them benefited from following my simple rule.

My first use of spying gear was to verify the safety of my child. Our sitter was well educated and sweet, and seemed to generally adore my son. Her behavior gave me no reason to doubt her kindness and capabilities. But, I had read so many horror stories about caregivers mistreating their charges, I began second guessing myself and found myself reading too deeply into her actions and wondering “what if?” I needed to be reassured. So, I paid a visit to http://www.spygadgets4sale.com and bought a small camera that was in the shape of a tissue box. It was very impressive and truly discreet. I placed the tissue box in our living room as that was the main center of activity and a public enough spot that no reasonable person would have high expectations of privacy. There is a happy ending to this tale, for our sitter was just as wonderful as I expected. In this case, power came in the way of a raise to our beloved nanny. My second use of spying gear led to more disappointing results than my first. It was a painful experience, but in the end I was saved a lot of grief and worry. I own a medium sized trucking and courier service in the Midwest. I employ approximately 30 individuals who drive vans and do regional deliveries. I also employ another ten people who act as over-the-road truck drivers specializing in eastern seaboard deliveries. This type of business requires the ability to trust one’s employees. Sadly, I became suspicious of a few drivers, because their numbers just did not add up. I decided I needed to fit my vehicles with some World and Mini GPS Trackers, Fleet tracking devices to find out what was going on. Sadly, my suspicions were confirmed and I fired one third of my staff. Happily, I now know that I can fully trust my remaining employees and verify the behaviors of new ones. Business is going great.

What Are Benefits of Using GPS Trackers

2012-04-17T09:12:00.000-07:00

There are several reasons fleet owners might need to closely watch over vehicles that they own and the behaviors of drivers they employ. In the transportation industry, a business is no better than the least of its vehicles and the worst of its drivers. A business owner’s ethics and morals are not always reflected in his most courteous and professional driver. They are reflected in his most careless driver! Improper use of fleet vehicles can results in: • Higher maintenance costs • Vehicle loss • Higher insurance rates and, in some cases, un-insurability None of these things are compatible with a successful fleet operation. Using vehicle GPS trackers and other vehicle surveillance devices can help to lower operating cost by helping a fleet owner to better understand how their vehicles are being used by their employees.

A GPS tracker allows a fleet owner to keep tabs on his or her company or private vehicles when they are out in the field. While this is extremely helpful, there is another aspect of fleet management that needs to be considered. When fleet vehicles are not on the road, they are frequently under the control of individuals entrusted with their cleaning and maintenance. When mechanics and cleaning staff act professionally, vehicles last longer, are more pleasurable to drive, and provide good representation to the public.

How Biometric Fingerprint Security Works

2012-02-18T11:24:00.000-08:00

Fingerprint identification is based on the anatomical truth that no two fingerprints are identical. Each person’s fingerprint has unique prominent features called arches, loops and whorls. These characteristic fingerprint curves are the most common types of fingerprint patterns. Though these fingerprint characteristics are distinct, without the aid of scanners, cable of reading detailed features, identification would be problematic. For example, if the sample print impression is smudged, dirty or distorted proper identification of the print’s pattern may be compromised. In this case, making an accurate assessment based on fingerprint identification is unreliable.

Today, with the introduction of sophisticated biometric scanners,verification of anyone’s fingerprint can be done accurately by looking at minutiae details and variations within the larger characteristics of a print’s arches, loops and whorls. When a fingerprint is scanned using a biometric device, the sample data is interpreted as various shades of gray patterns. Each gray pixel is designated a specific numerical value. The gray-scale pattern created is processed by a complex biometric security program. A mathematical algorithm examines places of light and dark points of the fingerprint sample data acquired. This analysis will determine whether the fingerprint ridges are divided or ended. The biometric program is designed to analyze theses minute ridge splits and endings, ascertaining their positions relative to the core of the print as compared to another.

In addition, the system also analyzes and compares the angle of ridges of sample print data. These anatomically specific relationships imaged will remain unaltered even if the fingerprint data is smudged, dirty or even distorted. Thus, a biometric system can accurately determine the identification of one fingerprint as compared to another fingerprint.

For secure identification several original fingerprint scans are taken and manipulated by a biometric algorithm to create a template of the print which is stored on the biometric device. The duplication process allows the algorithm to collect and compare fingerprint data acquired. This is done to ensure 100% authenticity of the template to being stored.
Once the template has been successfully created, an authorized user wishing to gain access to a secure area or device merely enters their security code or password to call up the fingerprint data template stored. The user’s fingerprint is scanned and compared to biometric fingerprint template for identity verification.

Biometric secure door locks usually require both a password code and fingerprint scan before allowing access as a failsafe protocol. However, secure biometric USB flash disk allow a user access by confirming their fingerprint via a scanning process or by entering the correct password.

During fingerprint verification phase the user allows their print to be scanned by the biometric device. If the match is close enough to stored data template, access will be granted. If not, another scan will be necessary until the scan matches secure data template created originally by biometric algorithm.

Biometric secure devices cannot be circumvented because anatomically no two people have identical fingerprints. Secure biometric systems use a complex mathematical algorithm to determine if the print scanned matches the fingerprint template data stored. Once verification is confirmed the user is allowed access.

The analysis and scanning process takes into consideration minute details of a fingerprint’s ridges and ends. Therefore, the fingerprint scanned must match exactly the fingerprint data which is stored on the biometric device.

Historical Uses of Encryption During Warfare

2012-02-01T10:07:00.000-08:00

In ancient times the ability to encrypt military communications played a significant role in the success of military campaigns waged by various city-states or countries seeking to gain or maintain regional dominance. The science of cryptology, in essence, is the study of codes and cipher devices used to create and decipher codes. The word cryptology comes from the Greek root for “hidden meaning.”

In the early 5th century B.C. rulers of Sparta, which was the predominant military power of ancient Greece, employed an ingenious cipher device called a scytale to encrypted military communication between government officials and generals executing their military agenda. Sparta was a militaristic Greek city-state with coveted military operational secrets which their enemies would try to obtain. Therefore, the rulers of Sparta needed to employ the latest secure encryption technology to protect vital military secrets and communications from enemy spies seeking to obtain Sparta’s military secrets for their respective governments.

As in all military campaigns communications between government officials and those executing the military campaigns are vital. The interception of military communications by the enemy could prove disastrous. Therefore, every effort was put forth by Spartan officials to protect communications to their commanders in the field.

Enemy states would go to great lengths to secure military secrets which could be used against perceived aggressors. Securing military intelligence by using spies is common practice during military campaigns, even today. Sparta’s rulers were pioneers in using encryption techniques to ensure their military secrets stayed secret.

Sparta developed a ciphering device called a scytale. This was a baton shaped object with a long sheet of parchment papered wrapped around in a spiraling pattern. A Spartan official or commander would write a message along the length of the baton.

The unwrapped parchment paper would render the message into an unintelligible or scrambled message which could now be safely transported via courier to the intended general in command. If by any chance the message was intercepted by enemy agents, the message on the parchment paper could not be read or decipher because a specific key was required to successfully decode the hidden message. The key was only known by person sending the message and the person receiving the message.

The key, in this case, was a baton of exact shape and dimensions of the original baton used to create the message. When the message was received, by the intended party, they simply wrapped the parchment around their baton or (key) revealing the encrypted message which was now decoded and easily read.

The scytale is the first known use of transposition, a classic encryption technique. Transposition uses permutations or algorithms to determine specific arrangements of alpha numeric characters to encode a message. For example, the letter “A” could equal “C”, while the letter “C” equals “A” and the letter “U” equals “T”. Therefore, ACU decoded yields CAT. Numbers could also be used as substitutes for each letter of the alphabet. The transposing of characters can be very simple or complex depending on the mathematical algorithm used to encode the message.

Transposing alpha numeric characters is only one method of encrypting data or communications. During ancient times transposition was considered cutting edge technology. Sparta’s rulers understood the importance of protecting and maintaining military secrets. No expense was spared in the development of more sophisticated methods of protecting their military intelligence.

The scytale, though seemingly crude by current standards, severed its purpose well because Sparta’s enemies could not easily decipher their military communications. Information is power and Sparta’s enemies’ deployed spies and other methods in attempts to secure Sparta’s military secrets. Obtaining military secrets from an enemy or aggressor could be the difference between conquering an enemy or subjugation.

In the modern age of advanced computer power, fueled by powerful microchip technology, the necessity to protect sensitive or confidential information is extremely important. In the information age digital data flowing through the internet stored on massive hard drives or personal computers is fodder which feeds our technological society. Keeping and maintaining the integrity of information, digital data or otherwise is vital. The interception or misuse use of information could potential lead to disastrous consequences whether on a government, corporate or individual level. The issue of protecting privacy has never been more important.

Those who read Brave New World years ago and who viewed science fiction television shows and movies were intrigued by all of the technological gadgetry. Governments spied on all of their citizenry; main characters in Star Trek opened doors by holding up their palms. It is often said that science fictions writers “see” advances in technology before most, and in these instances, they certainly did!

Today, there is a host of spy, surveillance, and security devices, many using biometric technology, available to government, industry, business and individuals, for a wide variety of uses. Most everyone is aware of the “nanny cams” that allow parents to view the activities of their babysitters and the traffic cams that record speeds and take pictures of people running red lights. We are even completely familiar with security cameras both inside and outside of stores, businesses and banks. What we may not know is that there are a huge number of products readily available through online retailers such as www.spygadgets4sale.com. Whether the need is for surveillance or security, this one-stop shop has the latest and most reliable products that can be ordered with confidentiality and received via DHL without any revealing labels as to their contents.

Surveillance

Individuals and businesses may have strong reasons for engaging in surveillance activities. Indeed, the types and uses of spying gear and surveillance gear have now radically altered how we protect our property, ideas, finances, and, most important, our loved ones. Parents may want to “track” the movements of their minor children who are driving cars on weekend nights, and this can be accomplish through a tiny GPS device. Individuals going through difficult divorces may wish to see what is going on in the homes they have left in the care of their spouses. Tiny cameras, mounted in clocks for example, can provide both audio and video surveillance. At work, cameras mounted in glasses or pens can record meetings, activities and casual discussion, perhaps providing important evidence at a later date. Private investigators have already been using these products for quite some time, but now individuals are seeing the value of these easy-to-use gadgets for themselves. Lawyers, teachers, business and industry personnel, diplomatic professionals, scientists, parents, and spouses can now conduct their own surveillance activities at reasonable cost and with ease and convenience.

Security

From the protection of industrial secrets to personal residences, the importance of taking appropriate security measures cannot be overstated. Security cameras are a “fait accompli” everywhere, and everyone is aware of them. Security has been taken to a new level, however, with the latest biometric technology, using physical characteristics of an individual (usually irises or fingerprints) in order to allow his/her access to rooms, buildings, computers and computer devices, laboratories, warehouses, and any other venue that holds confidential and/or valuable products, information, intellectual property, or documents.

Contemporary security products are now available which require scanning of a fingerprint or iris in order to allow access. Think of the benefits of fingerprint lock biometric products! A briefcase, USB device, or laptop can be carried anywhere in complete confidence that no one can gain access, even if it is lost or misplaced. A room will not unlock without the scan of a fingerprint or eye iris! These scanning products have rewritten the definition of security, and an increasing number of professional, business, scientific and self-employed individuals are seeing the benefits of this new technology.

If you have security or surveillance needs, and all of us do, visit www.spygadgets4sale.com and take a look at the vast array of products now available to consumers. You will find the perfect products to serve your needs!

How to Counter Technical Surveillance Threats

To deploy a technical surveillance operation a variety of technical spying gear may be used including spy cameras, audio radio frequency transmitters, surveillance gear, GPS tracking gear and a host of other high-tech spying gear. Many of these devices have built-in motion detection sensors allowing these devices to record and capture information only when the target is on location.

Surveillance devices are usually installed inconspicuously to avoid detection. The exception would be surveillance gear which will be deployed as a nanny camera. Nanny cameras are often concealed in typical household items, like clocks, baby toys or tissue boxes and can go undetected for extended periods of time.

Once a technical surveillance operation has been deployed, spying gear devices installed are usually monitored regularly. This to make sure the equipment is properly functioning. The surveillance operator may check the physical device to collect video or recorded data from time to time. Surveillance operations are conducted over a period of days, weeks and sometimes months.

A surveillance operator's greatest concern is the target might discover the technical spying device installed. Therefore, a physical observation of the device is sometimes necessary. By physically checking the spying gear installed the surveillance operator risk exposing the operation. Therefore, a target of a technical surveillance threat can use this information to determine who is conducting the surveillance.

If one suspects being under any type of surveillance, care should be taken to avoid disclosing knowledge of the technical spying device is installed. Alerting a surveillance team to concerning knowledge of the spying gear installed may have serious consequences.

A good surveillance operator will regularly check the spying gear installed. Many spying devices have motion detection capabilities and functioning capabilities to allow the device to be activated from a remote location. This allows the battery life of spying gear to be extended.

In addition, the target's information can be collected at an operator's discretion and time. Sometimes spying devices can be installed in a target's home, office or even a target’s vehicle and thus surveillance operator must be able to enable and disable the device as the target moves from one location to another.

The objective of utilizing technical spying gear is to allow the surveillance gear to function over an extended period of time. Checking the gear frequently add to the potential risk to the technical operation being exposed.

Some technical spying gear is vulnerable to technical counter surveillance measures when the device is operating. This is because spying devices often transmit within a specific radio frequency range which is detectable with proper counter surveillance gear. It is more difficult to detect the device when the device is not operational. Therefore, other countermeasures are required.

This is another not to alert a surveillance team by disturbing technical devices installed, otherwise a surveillance team may take measures, which may include either abandoning an operation or in most cases simply increasing the level of technical deployment of more sophisticated spying gear; thereby making detection of spying devices more difficult to discover. In some cases, a surveillance team will just regroup and employ different tactics to achieve the same objective.

Another reason for discretion is because a surveillance team takes into consideration the installed spying gear might be compromised or discovered without their knowledge. If the device is discovered the target could provide misleading information to thwart surveillance efforts.

If one does discover some form of technical surveillance, discretion and secrecy of this knowledge are paramount. Knowledge of a surveillance operation should not be discussed openly because one can never be 100% certain surveillance is not being conducted by a close friend, associate or business partner.

Furthermore, it is not advisable to talk over any form of a cell phone or unsecured telephone lines, whether at home or at the office. There is spying gear available which can monitor a specific target cell phone number. Once the target uses their phone the spying gear automatically records the entire conversation on both sides while the target is unaware. These spying devices are very expensive and often deployed by professionals, whether they are law enforcement, government agencies or even private investigation services.

Discretion can also help prevent or mitigate the possible consequences of a surveillance team acting overtly and even taking more aggressive measures. Therefore, discretion is an excellent weapon which, if used correctly, can make the difference between being compromised by technical surveillance or successfully protecting your privacy. As mentioned, some professional spying gear is prohibitively expensive and is normally only available to law enforcement or security or military agencies. In addition, it does take some technical knowledge in order to successfully deploy those devices.

However, given advancements in microchip technology reasonably affordable spying gear is available to consumers. Most spying gear devices are relatively easy to use and deploy. Regardless of spying device used a certain level of knowledge and homework, and planning is required whether one is doing the spying or trying to protect personal privacy or security.

If one believes they are under technical surveillance, every move must be planned meticulously to thwart the attempt.

Ascertain when and where the surveillance is being conducted
Try to determine who is conducting the surveillance because this information will help determine your counter strategy
Ascertain any potential risk if the surveillance operation is exposed

The primary purpose of technical surveillance detection is to protect one's privacy. To this end protecting one’s privacy will require discretion and secrecy. One need not be a surveillance expert to secure or use spying gear, but again this depends on the level of threat and experience of surveillance operators. Spying devices publically available to consumers are relatively inexpensive and do not require a high level of technical knowledge in most cases, but it depends on the type of spying gear being used.

The key to a successful technical counter surveillance operation is to maintain discretion, plan meticulously and develop counter strategies. Following these basic guidelines will help to protect against technical surveillance threats. Keep in mind, not all counter tactics can be successfully executed if you are dealing with a professional, organized and determine surveillance team.

Basic Guide on GPS System

GPS stands for Global Positioning System. It is a technology whereby satellites orbiting the earth send down radio signals which GPS units and receivers use to work out their current location. This information is designated by latitude and longitude elevation coordinates.

Definitions

Longitude: Angular distance on the earth's surface, measured east or west from the prime meridian at Greenwich, England, to the meridian passing through a position, expressed in degrees (or hours), minutes, and seconds.

Altitude: The measurement of how high something is. It can be measured in meters or feet and is benchmarked by sea level.

Latitude: Angular distance north or south from the equator ofa point on the earth's surface, measured on the meridianof the point.

How does GPS Work

There are approximately 24 low earth orbiting satellites circling the globe at any given moment. A GPS navigational system or GPS tracker searches for the transmission signal from at least three satellites. The receiver measures the time the signal was sent, the time it is received and then multiplies both numbers by speed of light, which is 186,000 miles or 300,000 kilometers per second, to work out how far the satellite is away from the receiver. This calculation is done at least three times with the results be using used to calculate the specific device location, i.e., your location on the globe.

The first GPS satellite was launched in 1978 and by 1995 the US Department. However, it was not until year 2,000 that civilian-use of GPS systems became popular.

Satellites transmit on L1 - L5 signal bands but, the L2 frequency is primarily used by civilian GPS devices which broadcast on frequency range of 1227.6 Mega Hertz. The military did not necessary want GPS devices being made broadly available to the consumers for reasons of national security or defense.

Some GPS satellite frequencies, outside of the L2 frequencies are designated as top secret for secure military transmissions only. The L2 signal was incorporate because it provided an improved accuracy for navigation and signal transmitted is easy-to-track among other features.

In essence GPS devices are gadgets based on very high-tech electronics. Some devices are used for navigational purposes while other GPS systems are designed as tracking devices.

Essentially GPS Trackers, GPS Loggers or GPS receivers are devices which records your location when:

• A) A button on the device is triggered

A GPS finder comes in handy if you are in large parking lot and forget where you parked your car. Using a GPS finder you can instantly located your car by following the directional arrows on the LED screen of the tracker to your car.

Handheld GPS Navigation Units

GPS maps and GPS mapping software names like Tomtom, iGo and Route 66, are most often referring to a Portable GPS navigator, or a GPS car DVD.

Handheld GPS units work just like the GPS on a car DVD. They show you destinations and help you pick the best way to get there.

All GPS systems utilized sophisticated and proprietary software pre-installed on the device at purchase. The software is installed on a SD card which has preloaded GPS maps. The card is easy to install. However, if problems are encounter a professional should be employed to insure the device software is working and installed properly.

Before buying a GPS system one should understand basic terminology associated with GPS systems and determine exactly how you will utilize your GPS system. Some GPS systems are designed for purely navigational purposes, whiles others are used as tracking devices.

Also, take into consideration the terrain you are operating your device. Satellite coverage is not the same in all areas. You may need to purchase additional antenna gear to boost GPS reception.

Technorati Article Posted Concerning Wall Street Protest

2011-10-13T23:56:00.001-07:00

Article "The Psychological Impact of the Internet Revolution"first published on Technorati 10th October, 2011

The internet revolution has irrevocably affected how people interact within society; perhaps lending clues to why groups of peoples are protesting.

A significant news story in today's headline is focused on protest taking place on Wall Street, New York, now in its 23rd day with seemingly no end in sight. The crowds are steadily growing with a cross spectrum of young and old who want their voices to be heard. The movement is now moving from State to State. The protesters’ messages are focused on a classic social theme of the rich getting richer, i.e. big Wall Street banks and other financial institutions, while the poor and now the middle class are suffering especially during these tough economic times. People’s patience is very short, compelling protesters to want immediate meaningful changes now. History would seem to dictate any meaningful governmental or societal change take place over time.

The questions becomes, what is the psychology fueling this growing protest movements across the USA? The struggle between the rich and poor, those in powerful positions and those without power is not a new theme. However, with introduction of internet revolution the playing field for entry into the private world of the elite has fallen.

Information and content is widely accessible. You can buy and sell stocks on your own computer at home like a real Wall Street pro. You can make a movie utilizing film editing software and publish your clip or movie on YouTube and instantly let your views be heard or seen. Doors that were once closed to 97% of people are now wide open. However, freedom has not come without a cost.

Once big record companies ruled their domain have been forced to adapt or become extinct as free music flooded the internet. Gone where days you had to lineup at your favorite record store to buy music. Up until fairly recently anyone having access to a computer and internet connection could download music free.

Of course this spelled disaster for record companies and music artist who depend on their music royalties – most well deserved. Fortunately, the innovation and introduction ITunes Store was the music industries’ savior. It is difficult to compete against a product which is deemed free.

Another example would be newspaper syndications and even post offices. Both industries are feeling the tsunami effects of the internet revolution on their once solid business models. No longer do you need to wait a week to get a mail to your family or friends. With a computer and internet connection, write your letter and seconds later your mail arrives. How can post offices compete against that type of delivery model? In other words, we are quite accustomed to getting what we want quickly.

The internet revolution has created a worldwide culture of people who are now accustomed to getting “What they want, when they want it and how we want it”. Neither Wall Street nor government institutions nor people in power are immune to the psychological influences of the internet.

Referring to protesters on Wall Street, the question of “when we want it” comes down to “now”. People want change “now”. Not a month from now or year from now, but now. Many people are simply sick and tired and are not sympathetic to Wall Street, its power brokers or politicians while the poor and now what is considered middle class are suffering.

People are no longer willing to sit by idly, feeling disempowered when the internet has taught us people and even an individual can have a lot of power to affect social or societal change.

The question of, “how do we want it” comes down to how the information is being presented and its packaging which is important. How content information is packaged whether in newspaper format, movies, TV or internet is important. This can also be related to what protesters on Wall Street expect from their society, their government or powerful financial institutions.

People who count themselves as Middle Class now find they are being regulated (demoted) to status of poor and even the disenfranchised, and this is absolutely unacceptable. The people’s voices will be heard.

In today’s internet society one would have expected the views of protesters to be streaming through the internet inform of massive traffic, through means of social networking or emailing. Instead we find protesters have gained a lot of momentum by means of traditional – not electronic – protesting. Protestors are gathering in force on Wall Street and in all probability the crowds will become larger.

The social movement which began on Wall Street echoing protesters’ “words, demands” will become a louder component of social media sites.

Today, we have a abundant choices on how to communicate messages and yes, even our demands as society. Again, the internet revolution has taught us this lesson, we do not have to rely on simply one means of communication. We can use Twitter, Facebook, e-mail or iPhones or other technical media devices to get our positions expressed as individuals or collectively.

The internet has also allowed us as a society the freedom to accept something, i.e. content whether in form of voice mail, email, video, etc. We also have electronic freedom to deny content packaging of information if we do not want it. The introduction of the internet has given people option of choice when before they had limited choices. One can choose to tune something in or quickly tune something out with a flip of a switch or click of button.

Given the enormous amount of content material on the internet, if people do not want to receive information it simply gets labeled as SPAM and ends up in a SPAM box totally, separate from more important content.

Today, protesters probably feel a lot of content coming out of Washington, Wall Street, financial institutions and politicians is nothing short of SPAM content. There is a reason why key phrases like, “Get rich now”, or “lose weight now” and gambling related e-mails end up in the SPAM box. People do not like being scammed or inundated with stuff they have no use for. Most people really resent being made offers which are blatantly trying to take advantage.

There is an enormous amount of content on the internet. Fortunately there is software called spam filters which can remove a lot of hassles of shifting through all the stuff we do not want and accepting only the content we want. “If we want it”

The main argument of protesters on Wall Street is they are tired of being scammed by Wall Street financial institutions who knowingly or unknowingly gambled with tax payers money to achieve greater and greater profits for themselves and a few lucky shareholders, only to find out, as any gambler knows, the house always wins. In most cases the gambler walks away empty handed.

With all the billions and billions of dollars lost, it is hard to justify to family who is struggling why a multi-millionaire or big corporation should get a financial bailout while, they, middle class and poor continue not only to suffer, but be victimized by a stock collapse on Wall street.

The house of cards has collapsed and the SPAM is out of box. The SPAMMER’, i.e. big Wall Street financial institutions lost money and the people who did not even want the spam got burned. The big difference is the SPAMMERS got their money back from the scheme they perpetrated and general public, i.e., the middle class and poor got left out in the cold holding the bag having to face and suffer all the consequence of a financial meltdown.

The protest will continue in part because the internet has given power back to the people both as a technology medium of communication and also a psychological catalyst for change. We cannot underestimate the psychological mind set the internet revolution has created. People are not willing to sit back and continue to be marginalized when they take action.

People want change now and they are no longer willing to accept the packing of content coming out of Wall Street, Washington or politicians when most people are just trying to figure out how to take care of their families, given the financial mess which a lot of people blame on Wall Street and the bankers.
