I do disagree on the statement that the powers that be want us to fall back into the dark ages of authority and control, social media, smartphones, store cards ect,I believe lead the masses blind into authority and control in a perverse way as now instead of them demanding to know what we are doing we just give them all that information without a care in the world.
George Orwell may have been off with the year but boy we are racing to it.
