In 1984 by George Orwell, the advancement of technology created a society filled with surveillance. The government, or “Big Brother”, used technology like two way television screens and surveillance cameras to maintain constant watch over their citizens. In today’s society the government has ten times the amount of surveillance technology envisioned by George Orwell in 1984. The United States government was founded around the basic fundamental principle of freedom. However with all the new technology, it can be tempting for the government to make citizens less free; either intentionally or not intentionally. With the advancement of technology, the U.S. government becomes more and more like Big Brother every year.
