Portugal – Smart City? or Logans Run? Big Brother?


Hi there.

I feel a little uneasy about this?

Is Portugal being Exploited or used as Guinea Pig for Microsoft and McLarren? and the likes?

I worked for a Building Control systems company, this kind of technology already exists all over the world, we don’t need more Apps pushed into our lives, just energy efficient buildings.

This could be simply a Corporate Rich Boys playground at the expense on the people of portugal? OR is it going to bring Sustainable long term benefit to the country and it’s people?

If this goes ahead, it could potentially ruin Portugal?

Comments Please.

Thanks.

Paul.
