Welcome to Purrvasive Computing

A blog for those concerned about the threat that pervasive computing poses to our society, our privacy, and our liberty. We will cover trends in social media privacy issues, pervasive appliances, RFID, GPS tracking, and other potentially insidious modern trends. This blog will not always dwell on the negative aspects of pervasive computing, but will also try to point out the positive aspects of new computing technologies, especially where ordinary people are taking control of their own computing environment, such as Peer to Peer networking, and the efforts of organizations such as the Institute for Local Self- Reliance and the City of Lafayette, Louisiana.
