In a near futur, becose we love technology, and since we ... live in a society... where we prefer to keep iq low and security mesures high, it will be against the law to make citizens rent an appartment without giving them a scanner to detect hidden devices like spycam, mic, recorder, see-through-wall-unit, dna-tracker, nightvision, motion sensor, etc. A good quality safety system for their home is also an order. But in a futur more far, it won't be allowed to control someone's else shelter; appartment buildings, as you know it, won't be allowed...
And because it is well known that a part of population has no problem with broadcasting themselves 24hrs a day, it will be now an obligation for citizens to stream themselves in their activity; to reveal their good will, honor, integrity, ethics and righteousness.
Since everyone sees no problems with the internet and recognizes that internet security systems can't be trusted, each citizen will be directly connected with everyone else and be able to interract with others as if they were in the middle of a crowd linked to each of their action.
This is following the wish of living in a clean world; it is no longer allowed to produce home computer, personal hard drive, and private storage device; data are now stored on the world's open core memory for everyone to access; your biosignature and citizenship is your password for your security so, if your data becomes modified, read, downloaded, etc. you will have the opportunity to know the reasons.
Your computers will be replaced by smart screens and if you wish to program, create, bring something good to your world, you will have the opportunity by subscribing to the multiple offices across the cities, open 24hrs a day, 7days a week, where the best tools and latest technology are offered for free.
This is the alternative taken by governments across the globe, to prove their consideration towards their citizens who request peace and security for families and friends, citizens fed up with the cynical culture develloped through generations, the distrust of the authority, and the clowns makeup industry.
