Remember the movie Enemy of the State with Gene Hackman? We're there. If not further ahead, even.
I remember seeing Enemy of the State when it first came out and thinking that if that could really be done then this world wouldn't be fit to live in.
Enemy of the State was mature tech when the movie was released. I'd imagine _some_ of what we saw in the movie Eagle Eye is possible now. There's almost no IT out there that can't be 'focus compromised' on-the-spot. Lots of concern about what's embedded in the physical layer of tech ... lots.
I'm really and disheartened by it all. I wish I could teleport back to the 1970s...
It's our world to live in.
I plant lots of trees to make it a better place for the folks coming along behind us.

That's a cool site, thanks for posting the link. Osage orange makes good bows btw.
I've never tried to make a bow. I did, however, invest in a Matthews V3X 33 to hunt with this year.
The site above has links to so many species of trees. The ones I'm planting won't mature until I'm long gone. Maybe my grandkids if my own children would just get busy.
