Welcome to 1984 - Two decades too late
It's starting to annoy me, this constant surveillance. What's the point of having so much video footage of people anyway? Our safety, so they say. There's cameras being installed in my workplace. I recently came from a music festival in Byron Bay and apparently cameras were being used to follow people on the streets. The whole feel of the place was completely different to what it was a year ago. Cameras are to be installed on every street in Australia.
It's getting to the point where I do not feel safe walking along the streets or even in my own workplace. I do not like to entertain the idea that somebody is watching my every move. I do not like to think that people are being watched all the time. Is it really for our safety that our privacy is almost being abolished? Is it really just because we need protecting? Will it really stop the killing or the drug dealers or whatever?
It's true power to take away a man's freedom and have him thank you for it.

I don't like it at all either.
And I don't like GPS in cars and cell phones. Not only are we watched constantly by cameras but our movements are now tracked as well.
Anyone can track where we go and how we spend our time online as well.
It is a scary world in which we live right now. Hopefully it doesn't get as bad as science fiction. But I'm not so sure it won't.
Yeah well, my passport has a chip in it that tells you where it is. They're tracking my movements man. All the conspiracy theories are coming to life.
