"Much as we feel a sense of privacy in the openness of a restaurant, so might a transparent society provide a sense, and the reality, of privacy much better than one in which surveillance is hidden but nevertheless there. Much depends on how humans decide to behave...in a society already reasonably tolerant we might reach a point when the private matters of everyone are both readily accessible and simply uninteresting. Rather than vainly attempting to save privacy, we should strive to create a society that is ever more transparent, ever more exposed."
~David Brin, From: The Transparent Society
