Phil, our UK man in the field, passed this BBC video over and all I can think of when I watch it is the code in "The Matrix". Using satellite tracking and combining it with other data, "the Beeb" shows various items zipping about the land, air and sea. Want to see a representation of taxis over a 24-hour period as they leave the congested roads? How about the air-traffic in the skies above? Every phone call in the system is electronically represented here too, but try as I might, I couldn’t spot an Agent. Thanks, Phil!
