Another website worth investigating is one to support the UK version of WIRED magazine.
One particularly interesting recent article referred to the methods that retail and other companies used to gather data about consumers. These include billboards which have cameras with facial recognition software.
Also led me via a circuitous route to the blog of Jim Rossignol, who I've mentioned before.
Rossignol uses an appropriate quote by J.G Ballard (who I also blogged about recently...)
“My advice to anyone in any field is to be faithful to your obsessions. Identify them and be faithful to them, let them guide you like a sleepwalker.”
J.G Ballard
