The natural tendendency of the universe is to evolve in the direction of more and more
self awareness.
Millions of years ago solar matter cooled to become the lifeless blind rock of earth. Then
inorganic compounds became organic molecules, which became single celled organisms, which
evolve simple photo cells.
These evolved to multicellular plants and animals which grew and became more and more
aware of the environment. Man evolved with his insatiable desire to see and know more and
more of his environment.
The success of Kodak, TV, and Microsoft have enjoyed was on this wave of evolution.
They provided the right product at the time. X10 and companies like it have
the right product for this time.
The universe "wants" to know and see itself, through the expansion of
consciousness on a mental level, and visually on a physical level.
The ancients said Brahma (the universal Self of philosophy, or the Unified Field of
physics) has "a thousand eyes" and wants to more and more self knowledge.
The human population expands, so that eyes are everywhere on the globe. Still the cosmic
mind we are connected to wants to see more. Security camera businesses are well
positioned to helped satisfy this wave of desire.
George Orwell predicted a Big Brother watching everyone with cameras. It turned out more
democratically, as we are all watching each other.
Some view this as an intrusion, but on the positive side, there is more safety. For
example, the DC sniper could not do what he does if there were cameras everywhere.
Security camera companies enjoy the support of this natural evolutionary wave towards
increasing awareness.
