Have we become a ‘big brother’ country?
With all the Spy gadgets and spy equipment out there to buy, we have to ask the question of have we gone too far? Have we become that paranoid that we need to spy on everyone? While technology becomes cheaper and smaller, more people have access to spying devices and it can now come in objects as small as a pen. While the equipment hasnt gotten that cheap to the point where people can buy it just for the fun of having it- we are in a recession after all, it has gotten to the price where people can consider it if they want to spy on a cheating spouse.
So how does this gear benefit us? If you need evidence of your neighbours destroying your property or your spouse cheating on you this can be good for gathering what you need. Businesses get the most use out of surveillance equipment -acting as a theft deterrent and recording evidence when something does happen.
But when the devices are used for spying on people we know? Well, it depends on how its being used, as how it is used could see a huge infringement on people's privacy, and when is it to far? With all the spy gear that can now be bought, you can use gps tracking, phone spying software and hidden devices to follow anyone around for a day. So are we going overboard with all this spying equipment? We fear that our own government spies on us, but hasnt it gone to far when we start to suspect our family and friends? We have to make sure that while using such technology that the UK doesnt become a big brother country, where we litterally have no privacy left at all. Awsome stuff I say
