I am not so sure, I find this current situation very similar to the depiction of the image of the beast in Rev 13.
Right now our phones give off frequent signals or pings. As a result the computer gathers information on every cell phone time and location. There is now a bill board company that will use this data to provide pop up ads on bill boards depending on which car is driving by. They will record if you drive by a bill board ad for dunkin donuts and then a few minutes later pull into the dunking donuts. Of course that is not all, sensors are now being built into all of our appliances, and these speak to the computer. The size and scope of these applications are astounding. Especially now that these 3d printers can print the tiny sensors on anything.
There is nothing new to considering the image of the beast as some kind of interactive computer, if we haven't arrived there yet the stage is certainly set.
