Information privacy is the major issue in the current generation. People are more concerned about their convenience along with security. For example if the car breaks downs, one can push a button and the On-star operator will provide help by tracking the location of the car.

“Let’s stop calling them cellphones, call them trackers” (that’s no phone). With cellphones everywhere you go you can get tracked. If you get lost it can tell you exactly where you are at. Also if you leave your phone somewhere you can track your lost phone and find it where ever it’s at. This states how technology can track you…
Many users on the internet distrust communication, sharing, and storing in fear of government surveillance. Many cannot express their will freely because they are aware the government will be supervising their data. If people know that there is a government data base that records information and stores every search or call, this poses a chilling effect for their free speech. The large amounts of data removes a person’s ability to move on from past experiences if it can be recalled (Schneier 2015). The 3rd amendment has been interpreted by courts that there would be privacy of the home; there is no privacy because individuals are constantly monitored.…
*Texting and walking simulation* I am 17 years old I have had my licenses for over a year now, and haven’t gotten in any accidents. I became a little more risky, using my phone, looking away from the road more. I didn’t think that getting in an accident would ever happen to me, I thought I was a great driver. Until I cross the median into oncoming traffic with my friends in the car. I’m unconscious, I had to be pulled out of the wreckage.…

Many don't even know that someone can see and hear everything they do on a smartphone. For example, someone that is logged in on facebook has easily just notified…
Body cameras for me personally is not an issue. I was pulled over by a police officer with a body camera recently. It happened at a McDonalds around 11’o clock at night in my hometown Reading, PA. As I was leaving the drive thru and making a left out of McDonalds I hear and see red and blue lights behind me. I pull over and shortly he comes over and introduces himself and his body camera.…
The Fourth Amendment is “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” The goal of this amendment is to protect people’s privacy. The Fourth Amendment protects the people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. However, the fourth amendment is not a guarantee against all searches and seizures.…
Police officers have needed the information on electronic devices. They need this data for finding missing citizens and suspects. But have been stopped in their tracks countless times. They have been stopped by the owners and others that believe the 4th Amendment enables them to decline the seizing and search of their devices. They want officers to have a warrant.…

Americans have long valued their constitutional rights, which ensure them a certain degree of independence and protection from mistreatment by the government. The fourth amendment ensures that citizens are not searched without reason or in an unlawful way--this guarantees that one’s person or property is not searched without a warrant or probable cause. When it comes to technology, however, the line begins to blur. The exponential growth of technology within the 21st century alongside the growing threat of terrorism has led the government to conduct surveillance and searches through technology. Laws and acts such as the USA PATRIOT act have granted the government increasingly more freedom to gather information through technology.…

Why are we so worried about being watch? It’s not like you’re doing anything wrong, right? Surveillance is a very talked about topic as of the present day. Should the government or any funded entity have the ability to watch us? Ask yourself this, are you doing anything wrong.…
All of their privacy has been taken away. An example of this is when the fire chief explains the job of a beastly mechanical hound, "All of those chemical balances and percentages on all of us here in the house are recorded in the master file downstairs"(24). The mechanical hound is able to trace the chemical balances of humans, picking up how a person feels, and much more information. This is an invasion of privacy because nobody should be able to look at someone’s feelings, and use them for anything, such as finding guilt or innocence for a crime. All in all, privacy issues are rising at high…
