It’s hard to lay low these days. The Internet, cell phones, banks, surveillance cameras- they track our every movement and transaction; they know where we’ve been. Last year Deputy Director of National Intelligence Donald Kerr declared the end of an era. “Anonymity,” he said, “is quickly becoming a thing of the past.” But is it? Reporter Catherine Price tried to find out. She spent a week trying to cloak every aspect of her life, and wrote about it in an article for Popular Science called, “The Anonymity Experiment.” She joins Faith Salie on Fair Game from Berkeley.
