Is this our future

And everyone thought the novel 1984 was fiction....

Initially this reminded me of a few years back when I moved to a new area. I went to the local Papa Johns to order a pizza. They ask me for my number, after giving it to him they want to know if I am Brian. I tell them no. I don 't know Brian. He verifies my number and insists I am the other person. I assure him I am not Brian nor do I know Brian. He asks if I have another number. I tell him no. I insisted that was my number and this was my address. My address matched a different name and my number belonged to a compeltely different person. WTF, I just wanted to order a flipping pizza for my kid. I just moved to the address....Brian no longer lives there, whoever the hell he is.....well do you have another address or number to try????? Seriously. I did that for a few minutes before walking out without a pizza. You can't buy a pizza without a freaking phone number?

Anyway, this is waaay more extreme and while I can't help but laugh while listening to it, I also can't help but think how far off from something like this are we? Crazy!

Heres the problem with that. Its becoming more and more normal for more and more people. I had the same thing happen at a Best Buys 2 years ago Christmas. No credit, no check. CASH! When he asked for my phone number I just smiled and said "I don't think so". He couldn't believe I would refuse to give him my phone number for a 49.00 cash sale. We stood there looking at each other like the other was insane. Had 2 people behind me tell me to just give him you phone #. Sad. They are just blind ass sheep.

Don't tell me the chip implant isn't coming. And they will all do it willingly. Sad!
