Anarchism & Technology

[apathy maybe]

I read a book the other day (can't remember what it is called, but if I can rememeber I will post the title and author here). Basicly the author took the idea that humans are humans and that means selfish, greedy and all those other things that capitalists want us to believe. However, he by passed this problem by using computers. The way it worked was that these computers could tell if someone had hostile intent towards someone else (or the computers). They used cameras and very sophisticated software.

With these things installed everywhere a system of anarchism was achieved. They still had people selling stuff, but no big multinationals. They had work credits (money basicly), if you didn't work, you ate insects (if you came from the west) or some other 'horrible' thing.

So what do people think of using technology to help implement a system of anarchism (or communism if you like)?

well things like surveillance cameras and huge databases can help but with a condition: that nobody can gain more power or access over all that information that the rest of the people.
