Technology can enrich our lives in amazing ways, enabling us to do things never before dreamed possible.
On the downside, it can also be used to track, monitor and potentially control us (as individuals or society).
Do you feel comfortable with this idea? Does this kind of activity make 'us' all safer.

Great thread Bev! I was reading something the other day about how the Russian government is trying to get backdoors into all the instant communication apps like Whatsapp, Skype etc etc so they could monitor what people are talking about as a way to detect and prevent terrorism happening. You can read the story on IBTimes [url=http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/russia-demands-backdoor-spy-users-whatsapp-viber-telegram-messaging-apps-1566726]here[/url]. This is in stark contrast to why these apps use encryption in the first place. I can see why they want to do it for detecting and prevention of criminal or terrorist activity. But at the end of the day, people need to have privacy and should be free to talk in private without some 3rd party agency snooping in on your every conversation. Yes it might make us safer, but at the same time, I value my privacy and sometimes things that happen or get said on the mile, should stay on the mile!
It's like that case recently with Apple Vs FBI in which FBI wanted Apple to give them a back door that would let them bypass the security system of the phone. If Apple done that and it fell into the wrong hands, it could be detrimental to the security of every phone and everything Apple had worked on in the past 10 years to make sure that someone who stole your phone couldn't access it, COULD access it. So at some point, you have to draw the line you know? You have to say okay, it's fair enough that they want to gain access to a phone that was used be a terrorist (even if naive of the FBI to think there'd be anything criminalizing on it). But if we do this now, what's to say other people aren't going to want to do that too knowing that iPhone security could simply be by passed using some tool. Oddly enough they got some hacker to do it for them and didn't even need Apples help.
Another frightening story I came across just last night is a massive 25,000 strong CCTV botnet that was recently discovered by accident which meant that the hackers had access to that all CCTV cameras around the world pretty much as they are all connected to the Internet and often they are not high on companies optimization and use very old software and firewalls to protect them but they are often hacked by hackers and used in DDOS attacks as well. Just search Google for [b]25,000 strong CCTV botnet[/b] and you'll see it trending.
But should the government get access to our cell phones and even our computers? Should they be able to see every message that's sent and every word that's said? I don't think they should no. Could it make us safer? I guess, in a way. But then do we really want to live in a world where we can't do nothing without the government first knowing about it? What about if you said something to a friend that was read out of context like "I think the Cubs are going to blow up tonight!". Meaning they're going to do well at a game but it could be taken out of context and the next thing you know you've got SWAT all over your house asking you to put down the rolling pin you was making ginger bread men from and asking you to get down on the ground and put your hands on your head!
This reminds me of a funny meme actually too. It's a bit large to put here but oh well here goes!

If this can stop future potential attacks, say terror attacks, then this is obviously a good measure. However, because I live in the United States of America, we have amendments and bills that are suppose to protect us from big brother, or big momma. Hopefully all these spy cameras are not violating such amendments, or bills. I'm going to apply my tin foil hat, because if the governments are watching us, so are the aliens! I actually don't care if big brother, or big momma is watching me. It makes me feel so protected, and boosts my self esteem knowing that someone is always on the look out for me, right? In the future, it is predicted that all your actions, no matter what you do will be recorded, and inputted into a database. This is actually already occurring, and there is basically no way to stop this, it's ever growing like a weed.
