Because of the 2013 revelations of Edward Snowden we have all come
to understand that, with regard to all ectronic communications, we
are mostly all surveilled most of the time. It all started about
150 years ago on the battlefields of America during the Civil War
when each side tapped the telegraph lines to spy on the other side.
It continued in 1895 when the New York Police Department began to
tap telephone lines. It was 20 years before that fact became public
knowledge and by then the NYPD was so busy tapping that they had a
separate room set aside for that purpose. The practice of tapping
really took off in 1910 when the dictograph arrived and made it
easier still for people to engage in tappinng. It was the first
ready-to-use bug that anyone could employ - that is, buy it off the
shelf and use it with no prior training required. Politicians
dictographed other politicians; corporations dictographed labor
unions; stockbrokers bugged other stockbrokers; and the police
dictographed everybody. And we were well on the way to the world
that George Orwell envisioned and the world Edward Snowden
described. Big Brother had arrived.
