Are We Living in a Surveillance Society?

We might think no one else either knows or cares what we get up to, as long as we compliance the law, unless we are a celebrity. But with massive development of technology, that is no endless the case and I totally agreed with the statement that we are living in a direction society. Moreover, I strongly believed that the level of surveillance will grow even further in the future. If we call loyalty cards or character cards we can earn points and receive money wrap up vouchers, but we also allow retailers keep data on what weve bought and where weve bought it.The money we spend on credit cards is also monitored to check for any unusual spending patterns, which could indicate the card has been stolen. With the increasingly advanced(a) technology, using internet becomes a daily activities of most of the people especially those who live in town. However, when we white plague the internet, records are kept about what weve been searching for, that can help if we want to log back on and do a similar search, but sad to say, it also means the provider keeps detailed entropy about our surfing habits. The same thing happen when we use the Global Positioning System (GPS).It not only will guides us any destination that we want to go, but also alerts us to race and traffic light cameras on the way which record our progress. Besides, when we use our mobile to call anyone, this will be logged by the telephone company and could be used by police to locate where the phone was at the time. In short, if this issue continues to develope, we would not have any freedom again as our daily life history will be monitored. Thus, I hope that appropiate steps should be taken to solve this problem onward our life become no privacy at all.
