[ Kirk would be interested to know why a talking turtle seems to have
such insight into rat behavior, but later. Later. Data discussion now, and
his world is all about data. Paper was getting close to becoming a luxury
these days. ]
My world is like that too - everything stored in 1s and 0s. It's easier to
keep track of, I guess, but a lot harder to control of it gets loose when
you don't want it too. Believe me, more than one fight has been started
over leaked data that someone wasn't supposed to have in the first place.
But it makes it easier to speak between races too - easier to translate
electronic words than it is to try and rewrite the written.
But the ID doesn't surprise me. The US used to have a big system like that
- Social Security. It was your.... life, basically, in a set of numbers. If
someone stole it, you were screwed more or less.
