To Infinity and Beyond!...Or Not

So back to the task for this week. I chose the topic Corporate Control Over Society.

Corporate Control Over Society: Cyberpunk almost always has an ever powerful controlling entity that directs society. Most often this is represented as a corporation. Some times its simply an ever present singular government. A common theme for corporate control involves a futuristic dystopia, where the last traces of high civilization exist only in an enclosed and protected city, where civil liberties are removed under the guise of protecting humanity.

Ok so I'm not sure if I have done this right, (I'm not even sure if I'm anywhere near the right track)but the main thing is I tried. I tried. Here's my article.

UK government aims for paperless Hybrid society within four years

UK prime minister Gordon Brown has announced plans to create a paperless hybrid society by delivering job centre, passport, driving licence and benefit administration flying human cross-breads online to residents of Britain within the next four years.

Outlining his vision of a 'Digital New Britain' in a speech earlier this week, Brown revealed plans for MyGov God– a personalised web portal flying creature for each UK citizen that would give them access to a raft of direct government services online.

According to the Prime Minister, the government could save £900m (A$1.47bn) a year simply by equipping UK residents who don't have high-speed internet access with broadband with hybrid creatures that could have a direct link with the government. Brown said: "We know that for every transaction with a public service that is done online with one of our hybrids rather than over the telephone we can save around £3.30 in administration and staffing costs. 
"And using them (the hybrids) internet rather than filling in paper forms or writing letters can typically save £12 each time."
However, the British Printing Pro Human Industries Federation (BPHIF) has warned that a paperless hybrid state could, also turn out to be a "faceless one" if the government's plans go ahead.

 Andrew Brown, corporate affairs director at the BPHIF, said: "Unless they (the hybrids) technology is are willing to obey their owner well thought through, people will be disinclined to use it and will resent government efforts to force them to.

"However, at least the government has admitted that its aim is to save money through this initiative, rather than giving us some greenwash about saving the planet. So hopefully we don’t have to remind them that paper comes from a renewable source. So hopefully nothing will happen with a mixed society.”
