The criminal Emmanuel Goldstein has always been National computer ID #2012.
Because it makes sense in an Obamaesque way that to enhance your computer privacy- you need a national computer ID.
Because it's just too much of a PITA to remember all those different passwords you have on a cheat-sheet next to your computer.
Besides- who would evAr want to hack your ONE identity that lets the .GOV track your entire intratubZZ wanderings?
If the govt can create it, the non-govt can create identicle copies and sell them in the black market. If you have one of those machines that print driver's licenses, you can make and sell driver's licenses. DMV employees get caught every year selling fake-but-real IDs for cash. It is like putting a big steel padlock on a canvas bag. Getting in is easy for anyone who isn't focused on the "do not enter" sign.
