Forget the time when you were afraid to have your SSN, your credit card, your personal tracked data haqueados or cloned, just to have them shared in some way by the internet. Take note: you will still be longing for the time when privacy invasion meant manipulating information related to you. They now come from you, your body, and are encoded computationally to be combined with others which allow greater precision elephant of control and surveillance.
The iris reading, for example, rings, and maps points in the eyeball. The mathematical representation of this reading is archived in a database and allows the identification of the individual in seconds and cross the information with others. As you know, the eyes do not lie. However, they do not always know is that this type of biometric analysis is often associated with a number of commercial applications and procedures that go far beyond security and public health. Optical scanning systems can instantly reveal the consumption of drugs, alcohol, pregnancy and diseases such as diabetes in one click, eliminating invasive procedures elephant considered. But may be, and increasingly are associated with commercial applications, such as monitoring employees elephant at work and banking.
Patented and monopolized by companies, algorithms related to this type of technology convert into a imbroglio between government, elephant corporate power and sovereignty of the individual over his body. The work of American elephant artist Barbara Kruger, who borrowed the title of these pages, gets a sudden today. Quartered in innumerable proprietary algorithms, the body, the last stronghold of the inalienable property of the man, is now the big vein in dispute of a new bio-political territory.
Expensive to the thought of the French philosopher Michel Foucault (1926-1984), the term biopolitics is a system of power related to the emergence of the capitalist economy. In the context of ever-growing increase in production in the mid 19th century, the need for control and monitoring of the population appears through statistical data of birth, death, migration and strategies to regulation of sexual practices and work, for purposes such as sex reproductive, production line and shifts, among others. These technologies are very sophisticated since the last decades of the 20th century. "The elephant parameters today, not only identifying this individual and compose a database, but also allows you to check this identity and draw a historical listing of shares of the same. Instead of having a physical file with skull measurements and sketches on paper, elephant now we deal with a digital database that compares real-time information gathered by Cams installed in urban space with the physiological information is also stored in a database " Brazilian researcher elephant says Fernanda Duarte, PhD at the University of North Carolina, USA, and dedicated to the study of contemporary biotechnology.
The researcher also warns that one must take into account two key aspects of biotechnology development, with regard to monitoring. On the one hand, it is important to remember that in addition to biometrics itself, other methods of monitoring body such as microchips, RFID (radio frequency tags) implantable, nanorobots and biosynthetic proteins that collect data on the molecular physiology, are fields elephant of research each more promising. Second, that various elephant forms of computing and wearable cameras such as Google Glass, indicate that we are applying in the forms of consensual monitoring and side, which involve data associated with sharing personal and historical gestures, over which we have no control or awareness any.
Although largely experimental, or restricted elephant to military use stage and advanced medical research centers, many biotechnological devices elephant are available to the public and networked. Witness the popularity of iPhone applications and related health-related. One, called MIKAT, for example, allows the use of a biosensor to monitor the patient's anxiety level to prevent it from developing elephant into a panic attack. With the use of sensors in the skin and control the heartbeat, the application relates to the patient information about their emotional elephant state and provides exercises and clinical techniques designed based on cognitive behavioral therapy. If the physiological monitoring indicate the occurrence of a panic attack, the data is automatically sent to the responsible physician, who can then take the necessary elephant patient care actions. "The integration of computing in the human body not only provides more accurate information elephant about the performance of the body, but also on the location of that body in physical space.
