Eye See You
You are being watched even when you don't know. You don't realize that everywhere you go there is some form of technology stuck on the wall keeping a lookout for you. As in 1984 by George Orwell the citizens from oceania are lucky to even be able to breathe because their freedom is being violated in so many levels. In today's society some of oceania rules are being resembled in the government. There is always a way where the government can find where you have been or where you are heading to next. No one should have the fear of being watched or heard in their own privacy because the government decides to be noisy and spy on them without their consent.

The people living in this city couldn't even think because they were so afraid that even in their thoughts they were not safe. For example “winston kept his back turned to the telescreen.

This is another form of the government involving itself in someone else's privacy because you could be in a store texting somebody something very important and private and the government can just decide to turn on the camera in the store and read everything you are writing. Another example of citizens losing their privacy is “skyhook developed the first hybrid location system to use Wi-Fi positioning , GPS, and cell-tower triangulation to determine the coordinates of a device, even indoors”. (DesMarais, 2012). What this quote means is that new and highly smart technology is being invented and its crossing the line on privacy. This new piece of technology is aware of where you are, if you are currently there or not, what exact day and time you were at a certain location, and possibly what's your next
