tell who switched seats with their friends in the middle of the movie. Surprisingly, that could happen in a few years. New Japanese technology can do just that, and it has a 98% accuracy rating in lab tests so far(Privacy). What other creative surveillance methods will be around by 2025? How will they be integrated into our society? That is what I wanted to find out in my second Media Search.

Surveillance has always been a contentious subject. In Foucault’s Discipline and Punish, he talks of The Panopticon where its inmates are vulnerable to constant visibility and manipulated into obediency. It is a metaphorical representation of a totalitarian society where the watchers, governmental bodies or organizations, are assured absolute power.

This is topical in the larger matrix of surveillance and intervention in film. The line between objectivity and intervention is integral for surveillance to stay effective. Let us then suppose that if the line is broken, a conflict will arise. The resolution of said conflict ends with a common underlying theme. When a spying force crosses the…

Is Surveillance Considered Unconstitutional? We are always being watched. It has been proven that the government invades the privacy of every civilian inside the United States and civilians outside of the United States. The United States government tracks every single one of us without our permission. We did not consent to have every little detail of our life be tracked. Strangers are looking into our private lives without us even knowing. This country claims to be the land of the free but we…

Some people say that surveillance in our world is getting closer to the world of Big Brother. Although it may seem like our surveillance is for the worst, it is actually the exact opposite.
