We talked about smart dust being a powerful component of the emerging technocracy, but the dominance of technology is, by no means, limited to that technology. A similar \u2013 companion \u2013 vector encompasses a very broad spectrum of intrusive technologies that include things like smart meters, smart phones, smart homes and appliances, et. al., all part of a planetary-wide push to make EVERYTHING an active part of a global computer controlled environment.<\/p>

The question is: how does one deal with all of this? More interestingly, what different scenarios \u2013 related to \u201cenlightenment or ascension\u201d \u2013 might emerge that would counter this clear, profound trend?<\/p>
