Did you see that? Do you believe it?
It may seem funny now, but pranking us is getting harder to tell.
Technology is getting better to the point of real vs. fake on our screen is more difficult to discern.
In the movies a body double would stand in if a stunt were required. Then technology provided a green screen to put an actor in the middle of space. If a thousand zombies were needed, it was easier to copy and repeat digital images than hire and make-up extras.
Was that really the president selling soap on television? Did the queen of England endorse your automotive insurance? How did Thomas Jefferson walk you through Monticello or Abraham Lincoln tour Ford’s Theatre?
Was that you in that porn video?
We are so concerned about our privacy, but post all our profile information and tons of selfies out on the web; someone with unkind intentions could easily apply your image in harmful methods.
With our face recognition or fingerprint passwords to our digital information, it is not a stretch to see how content could be used without our consent.
Am I writing this?
