After viewing all the videos I am left with mixed emotions. On one hand, I believe privacy is very important. On the other hand, I believe surveillance is important but invasive at the same time. I will analyze the three videos and their implications in a political, social, cultural, economical, environmental, and ethical view.
Political: I believe that from a political point of view, its believed to be very beneficial. However, I am not convinced that the government can be in control of the majority part of our privacy as they can use that against us. In the video internet of things, it explained how everything now has chips and they interconnect. With each other from our phone, computers and even our toasters. I personally didn’t expect …show more content…
In the video of Science of Surveillance, it showed how cameras are tracking criminals and this helps our society be safer. However, we cannot depend on it completely just as the video also talked about how it doesn’t stop the bombers from doing what they had intended to do. But, it did help finding them when they had already bombed. With new technology, they are hoping a camera con detect a criminal however, I don’t believe that will take place anytime soon.
Cultural: In looking at surveillance in this point of view I would have to totally disagree with the way technology and surveillance are going to be approached. One of the main reasons would be because more than likely you would be “looked at” from the camera’s point of view from the way you dressed, physical traits, and even possibly the color of skin. To which I strongly disagree, no one should be more scrutinized while on the street just because of their appearance. I think that should be considered racism to a certain …show more content…
With the way innovations are growing every day we learning and create new things. The internet has been something that has been very beneficial and of great use for us, however in the wrong hands we have seen how damaging it can be. I believe that we should have an option of who, what, when, and where, our privacy is being exposed. One thing that I learned from reading the book is that as humans we create things that we believe will better our way of living. Almost more than half of the time we do not think about the failures, and the negative outcomes of the innovation. From Nye, I learned that technology has a way to prove you wrong. There are always going to be consequences to your actions. That technology and innovations have revengeful effects that come along with them. He sets many examples throughout the book. With this situation, it wasn’t hard at all to find the revengeful effects as in the first video, it shows how the bombers new that they were being watched. Although, they knew of this and it did not stop them from doing so. With this we can only ask ourselves two questions. Is it beneficial to expose our privacy more than what we must? Can we really rely on any innovation? My answer would be no…what is
