- cars will certainly soon have the state's "black box" in them
- Your ID card already has RFID, and it will only get more powerful
- credit, payment, banking, passports, air travel ... all getting centralized.
- Go ahead and fallback to paper, that just means the paper is entered into a computer when you hand it in and they "review" it. What will probably happen is that the all-paper route will become FAR MORE ONEROUS will submitting to facial recognition, DNA samples, and the like to back-verify your identity, higher fees, wait times, until you submit to practical day-to-day needing a on-body computer device like a phone.
- all democracies know laziness is the key to functionally subverting rights, it's only going to get worse.
- even if you don't submit, all they people you know WILL, and the government can track you by tracking the people you know. So I guess, no friends for you.
Now, for every place I said government, cross that out and put in "multinational corporation that is a monopoly or cartel in all its markets"... and it's all there, turnkey, same policies, but even less legal / constitutional protection.
