Precursor to our surveillance society


I watched this show devoutly when I was a kid. The gadgets fascinated me, and I made recreations of them (including that tiny pendant camera) to wear. It's funny that we're actually living in that age now. Only secret agents aren't the only ones wearing the tech -- everybody is! From pen cameras to smart watches to Google Glass, we're now monitoring each other 24/7 and the devices even monitor our health (without Burgess Meredith behind the scenes). Once again, science fiction became science fact in a relatively short time.

Chaos. Good news.
