Other surveillance scenarios for 2016 include:

• Cars linked to global satellite navigation systems, which will provide the quickest route to avoid current congestion, automatically debit the mileage charge from bank accounts and allow police to monitor the speed of all cars and to track selected cars more closely.
• Employees being subject to biometric and psychometric tests combined with lifestyle profiles and diagnostic health tests, with jobs refused to those who are seen as a health risk or those who don't submit to the tests, and staff benefit packages drawn up depending upon any perceived future health problems that may affect an employee's productivity.
• Schools introducing card systems to allow parents to monitor what their children eat, their attendance, record of achievement and drug test results.
• Older people becoming more isolated as sensors and cameras in their home provide reassurance to their families who therefore need to pay fewer visits.
