This is an excellent expression of the social "missing mass". When I speak about this, some people go crazy: "What the hell are you talking about?". Well... This is not romantic stance. This is just a vision, we are missing things outside, in the street, for a varied set of factors. As a friend said, interior is the only space of freedom for the contemporary human being. It's why Ikea is succeeding. Also, computers and internet simulate social life online. Thus, the missing mass. The void of streets in post-2000 occidental cities.

Get a first life is a satire that targets exactly this. Go ahead, get a first life for a change.

After the adoption of database for surveillance (Promis case), the use of search engines and Networks of networks for monitoring of citizen exchanges (Echelon case), now there's the commodification of wireless technologies such as WiFi for monitoring purposes.

Combine that with the vigilante practice of online-monitoring that we witnessed with the mexican/texan border and you get a perfect glimpse on the transition from BigBrother to AnyBrother: anybody is going to be the narc or zealot... A nice shot of community based society. Orwell would not even believe his own eyes.
