Digital Identification is now a commonplace of postmodern life. In many ways, the capacity to store and share information online, including personally identifying information, is helpful, making commerce and communication run more smoothly. But it also makes our most private information, and what we own--our values, interests, activities, bank accounts, etc.--available to a growing complex of interconnected, government, including foreign, or corporate system of data access, coordination...and potentially, control. Add to this biometrics, mass surveillance via near ubiquitous CCTV, and other new identification technologies, and privacy, freedom, and democracy itself is now threatened. Is this simply part of the build up to the biblical End Times? Probably, but how and when the last days will unfold only God knows. For now, our concerns are what does the government know about us, why does it want to know it, and how will it use it? For more Christian commentary, check my website rexmrogers.com.
