Turning your communication device into an explosive weapon that can be activated from afar reminds me of those dystopian sci-fi films in which convicts had to wear explosive collars like eg the movie Wedlock.
So what Israel has done to the Lebanese people might be just the first step into developing an innovative technology for social control using the electronic gadgets that you have to be "always on" to participate in society.
Having experienced once what thousands of Lebanese had to endure will be enough to view your smartphone or similar device from the internet of things with totally different eyes. The presence of an invisible observer will be felt as an aggressive intrusion like never before.
Highly individualized and pixelated social control is the near future of surveillance, and like drones that were used for reconnaisance missions before they were armed to kill human targets with great precision your smartphone could be officially turned into an instrument serving educational and disciplinatory purposes.
That of course is sarcastically meant, but on the other hand everything is possible in a world of #racism #colonialism #fascism and total #war
