<p dir="ltr">Aren't you scared of having technology being pervasive in every facet of our lives?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Add to that the fact that our Governments don't shy away from peeping into our privaye lives through all these gadgets we have.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Its quite a slippery road.</p>

Yesterday morning as I drove to the city, my trip was disrupted by a woman<br>
driving ahead of me. She was most likely driving a stick shift Toyota<br>
when at Muthaiga Market (has a small hill as you join on to Parklands) her<br>
car slowly sled backwards resting on the front of my VW bug. She realized<br>
her mistake too late but when she came out, she said to me "Mheshimiwa<br>
umenigonga kutoka nyuma" (Honorable you just hit me from behind). I just<br>
had to smile as I opened my door. The vehicles behind us sped off. I<br>
knew I had no witness.<br>
<br>
Her car had minor damage and as she prepared to call the police, I<br>
encouraged her to do it quick since this is a simple matter. She then<br>
says to me "a simple matter". I said yes. What do you mean she retorted.<br>
It is simple because my car is digital, I said. Digital! what do exactly<br>
mean she says. My car has digital cameras all round and when the police<br>
arrive, I just will show them exactly what went on. She stops making her<br>
call and started to look at my car carefully. This time I tell her that I<br>
am calling the police. She then turns to me as says "this digital<br>
business is not good, can we just agree that we just cover our costs". I<br>
said no. This is the very reason why I mounted a digicam on my car.<br>
<br>
She starts to plead with me. She offers to cover my cost. I said no but<br>
asked her to put it in writing that she was on the wrong.<br>
<br>
Lesson 1: Technology will help us correct our values.<br>
Lesson 2: If all our PSV vehicles are mounted with cameras, we shall<br>
gather good data to hep us deal with road carnage<br>
Lesson 3: There are other benefits that will accrue if car manufacturers<br>
were to in-build cameras just like mobile phones.<br>
