Smart dust to monitor earth...

[Gibby]

I'm trying not to be a "CNN Thread Starter", but this kinda caught me eye.

This is saying that these small sensors will be able to detect earthquakes, determine how well a certain ecosystem is doing and so on...

If I were a conspiracy theorist, I would say it's to invade our privacy...

I don't see a problem with the smart dust monitoring for earthquakes.

"[It] would monitor everything." To me, it seems this system can violate people's privacy. I don't think many people will notice if they are being monitored. This is creepy, and it reminds me of Big Brother in 1984.
