The Glass Room

A model of the Zuckerberg house.
If Black Mirror Had a Showroom, This Would Be It

Remember when Mark Zuckerberg said "the age of privacy is over" and a few years later bought the four houses surrounding his own because he just suddenly got a thing for local real estate?

This exhibit looks fun, but the ironic thing about this article -- this article about surveillance and privacy -- is that it uses one of those Javascript libraries that tracks every mouse click you make to deliver statistics back to the site about which pieces of text were highlighted most often.

Is that still ironic? Or is it just obligatory? I can't even tell any more.

Remember when the web was functional with Javascript turned off? Yeah, neither do I.

"This web site requires that your eyes remain open for the duration of the commercial." I think I might have seen a TV show about that.
