"A total surveillance is not only inevitable and irreversible, but also 
irresistible," Jeff Jonas, distinguished engineer and chief scientist at IBM 
Entity Analytics, said during a panel on surveillance at the conference on

archived, searchable, and can be compiled to create profiles about each of us 
is what makes digital privacy intrusions so much scarier than pre-Internet 
life, she said."

"Jeffrey Rosen, a law professor at George Washington University and the legal

described as "new threats to privacy that have the potential to transform 
society in troubling ways".
