Identity...

[fajrdrako]

The more the data banks record about each one of us, the less we exist. - Marshall McLuhan, 1911 - 1980

So... what did he mean by that? Is it an "I am not a number" kind of thing, or is it that he felt his identity was being stolen, like stealing a person's soul by taking their photograph?

I find that McLuhan is often just a little too... arch.

Of course, it's intriguing to find the odd individual who can keep himself off the radar.
