окно в жизнь

а вот еще очень в духе времени:

According to the filings in Blake J Robbins v Lower Merion School District (PA) et al, the laptops issued to high-school students in the well-heeled Philly suburb have webcams that can be covertly activated by the schools’ administrators, who have used this facility to spy on students and even their families.

т.е., глупо даже говорить, что предсказания Оруэлла когда-нибудь там в будущем сбудутся, — вот оно, все, как на ладони:

The issue came to light when the Robbins’s child was disciplined for “improper behavior in his home” and the Vice Principal used a photo taken by the webcam as evidence.

дальше, впрочем, там уже смешно, обычная необразованная бюрократическая шелупонь — но ведь они-то и смотрят за нами, именно они:

Apparently, the “improper act” that the student was disciplined for was an accusation of either drug use or drug selling. For what? Well, the image showed the student with Mike & Ikes candies, which do have a passing resemblance to pills, but (last we checked) do not appear to be controlled substances.

отака вона, современная действительность, малята.
