In Orwell’s 1984 the country of Oceania privacy is non-existing. Everything is monitored either by cameras inside "telescreens" or hidden microphones used to control Anti-Party actions. This is similar to America's government, in today's society, everyone is subject to the possibility of being spied on by the government through the vast amount of cameras we face in our everyday lives. But how are we supposed to acknowledge this to be a problem when we are so willingly and blindly contributing to…

seats with their friends in the middle of the movie. Surprisingly, that could happen in a few years.
