The last story raises many questions.  How will all these pictures and email, etc., be stored and uniformly upgraded to the latest operating systems and apps?  Perhaps they envision an enormous “Time Machine” type device on every block that will capture everything from all citizens computers and then move it along from OS to OS and from app to app.  Security, of course, wouldn’t be more of an issue that it is in our garbage dumps, right?!  Good grief.
