How much is too much? (blog 10)
In our every day lives technology has an influence on the way we live. In some ways this is a good thing, in others it almost seems as an invasion of privacy. Whether you are in a store, out on the street (in metropolitan areas), or even entering a public restroom, think about what is around you. If your answer was cameras you are correct. This has become an issue to some people around the world, I am particularly one of those people who disagree with the use of some cameras. In many ways cameras in certain areas are a great thing, for if a crime is committed there is video footage to track down who has done it. The problem I see with this is with the vast amount of cameras around it almost seems like our everyday life is being watched, in a way of (Big Brother). As I stated earlier for most uses they are for good cause, but who's to say someone couldn't override the cameras and watch you undress, use the rest room, or any other sort of actions possible with a movable camera which records everything in its lens? This is why I believe technology has put a hindrance on privacy simply because the amount of cameras out there, someone could technically watch almost every part of your daily life.

I definitely think technology is an invasion of privacy. People think they post anything on the internet and be totally fine. But, for example, when someone posts their credit card number on a fake website - looks like they have now been hit with credit card fraud. So therefore people cannot believe everything they read or put on the internet. People need to be more conscious of what they place where.
ReplyDeleteCameras being placed everywhere is kind of a creepy thought. Now they are trying to make the cameras smaller and in more places so people can't "avoid" them. Can you imagine having them in the bathroom, or a changing room? It's a total invasion of your privacy. They'd be everywhere and there would be no avoiding them. People would be able to see your every move if there was a huge amount of cameras. It's like you are being cyber stalked.
