Argh, there it is again - the DVLA TV advert that warns of computers constantly trawling for those that haven’t paid their car tax and sending automatic fines. It comes complete with menacing and threatening imagery all in black, white and grey.
Then there’s the railway stations - on my daily journey through Reading and Paddington I’m assaulted with automated brainwash messages about security, late trains, slippery surfaces, surveillance etc.
Has anyone noticed how 1984 this all is? Do we think this is at all a good thing? What does it say about day to day life in our “modern” society? What might it being doing to our creativity, our spirit?
This stuff needs to stop…….
