Anti-Digital Devices

Perhaps this is why I've kept my regular camera as well as getting a digital. I can still take pictures of my own kids with Santa without The White Light stopping me. Though, if it comes to it, I'm sure I have friends I could force to dress up for an hour... (I'll provide a costume and lots of pillows! And the cookies.)

The video part will be more difficult to manage, but I'm not in the habit of taking them in movie theaters anyway. Or regular stores. Funny how with the more general use of technology comes better ways to protect against acts that couldn't be stopped easily before.

Whatever future group decides to passively resist the government and do things all their own way will have to give up all modern technology to avoid being a) discovered b) forcefully stopped or c) rendered unable to continue due to machines detecting and blocking unauthorized use of technological items. I wonder if they could manage at that point without going back to a "basics only" community, and find a way to keep using at least some more modern items. They'd have to have older devices, or some way to alter the (in their time) current ones.. perhaps just a technology/electronics/along those lines wiz would be able to handle it, depending on security within the items themselves, otherwise a hacker as well. Hmm.....
