Black boxes

Black box is generally a technical term that has been coined to exemplify the system based on its input and output characteristics. It has been used in various contexts. For example in aviation that black box correlates to the flight data recorder and voice recorder. Soon black boxes for the Internet are to be designed that can be used to record every mail and website visit made by the computer users. They are going to design it in order to track the Internet traffic. All the black box contents would be transferred to the central database that is maintained for storage purpose. This system would greatly help the security and intelligence agencies. They don’t affect the smaller ISPs and would be installed upstream on the network.
