We like to watch
"Technology's inexorable advance has brought the world's democracies to a crucial juncture: will next-generation citizens keep an eye on each other in a golden 'age of transparency,' as famously imagined by science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke in his 1988 novel, 2061: Odyssey Three? Or will the tools of surveillance and data analysis be wielded exclusively and with impunity by governments and corporations?"
Incidentally, we bloggers are helping facilitate the emergence of this "transparent society." So far we can photoblog and audioblog; I'm personally looking forward to "neuroblogging."
