Technology & Privacy

It is more and more and apparent that technology is being brought to new levels never imagined before, but as technology becomes more prevalent in today’s world we must first ask ourselves exactly how safe is this technology and if we are taking the right precautions to protect ourselves from it. A fact that is not commonly known is that we are almost always being watched and our activities and behaviors always being monitored, whether we are out in public or in the comfort of our own homes. Cell phones can track our exact location by simply just being turned on, vehicles can now track our driving habits and behaviors, and street cameras can record us at any time. Although this advance in technology is extremely helpful to solve and prevent crime, we must realize that there’s a fine line between using technology for purposes to better society and using technology to invade the privacy that every human being is entitled too. Next time your are connected to your smart device or computer just ask yourself if you would want your activity being monitored and watched!
