big brother is a computer


A cardboard warning sign is placed between the rim and the boot to prevent costly damage and lawsuits.

The minivan has a camera on each side of the roof that sees every parked car’s license and instantly matches numbers to a database at the DMV.

Is there a clearer case of man working for a machine?
