Lol, I find the question funny. Aren't we already "living" on something where each and every click is being monitored. E.g Google tracks your cursor behaviour to distinguish between a Bot and human. So moving into a monitored city won't be much difference iyam.
Exactly.
Every single click is tracked and recorded and you can't get away from it.
As soon as I have a bit more time, I'll try to write a post for real paranoids who want to reveal the least possible of their personal data on the Internet.
I think that you guys don't know how a data collection in the so called smart city would look like. At the moment only certain things are being collected, like your emails. There's cookies, search trackers that know what things you're interested in and send you personalized ads.
In a smart city you are being tracked by every part of your home. There are already smart home kits that you can install on your own and I've seen them work. In short, you are carrying a gps tracker at all times with you and in your car. The system recognizes that you're coming home and opens the gate and the garage door, turns on the lights and central heating. Lights turn off when you leave the room, not based on motion detectors like they do now, but on your presence in the room.
The ideas is to increase this level of tech interference to the point where your fridge scans labels of the products that you put in and sends information to the manufacturers, so that they can make you a special offer. Like when they see that you like twinkies very much they can give you a discount and sent them to your door every day, along with the newspaper and milk.
