This is first accomplished through SeeChange, a high-definition camera technology that enables anyone to set up a publicly-accessible camera anywhere in the world. The camera can be controlled via voice command and is so small that it can be difficult to locate exactly. In the kickoff presentation outlining the innovation, Eamon Bailey describes how the development will be to the benefit of the Circle, saying how “we will become all-seeing, all knowing” (Eggers 71). This omniscience presents absolute power over most citizens, enforcing a great social injustice. Because of the Circle’s watchful eye over the population, nothing can be forgotten, and citizens will no longer be able to keep their private lives secret. This is only possible thanks to the Circle’s abuse of their power. The Circle is a well-established monopoly that has “subsumed Facebook, Twitter, Google, and finally Alacrity, Zoopa, Jefe, and Quan” (Eggers 23). Because there is no opposition to the corporation’s power, they are free to do almost anything. The general population has grown trusting of the Circle as a result of their strength; therefore, they do not oppose these actions. This submits them to the true effect of the Circle’s plan; SeeChange is a mechanism for their accumulation of all human knowledge. Eamon Bailey makes this their clear goal during the pitch,
