Do you remember the Spielberg movie "Minority Report"? The tag line was:
What would you do if you were accused of a murder, you had not committed... yet?
Obviously a science-fiction movie in the U.S. is not the case in Japan. The Japanese government recently (June 11th) announced that it will put a budget for 2009 to research and implement a "crime notification system". No, it's not a system that alerts you when a crime is committed. It's a system that detects and alerts before the crime! A prevention system like the movie!
Did the Japanese find these people with the ability to foresee the future? No. The technology is to scan the Internet for any signs of heavy crime like murderer including suicide.
Hey, if you are visiting Japan, be careful what you mention in your emails or posts on the web...
