Is it 1984 yet? -

People in general are still dismissive of the dangers of surveillance mass: as you mention the words Big Brother and 1984 further argued that such a dystopia can not get to where they live. Let's take a look closer, be it 1984 yet.

We now know that the spy agencies of both governments want to see every letter we type, every thought that we are, and every image we transmit on the net we are almost 24 per secure-7. Yet many people reject this as being far from a 1984 type scenario.

There was even news of the NSA and GCHQ watch webcams people right into people's homes, and about 10% of cases (as GCHQ), watching people in their home in the nude. We also know that the conversations and online activities of people are constantly monitored, and more importantly, saved.

There is of course no way to know if you are being watched at any given time. How often, or on what system, the government attaches to an individual wire was guesswork. It is even conceivable they watch everyone all the time. But in any case, they can connect to your son when they want.

Do you feel safer? Are we 1984 yet? Most people would still say 'no'.

There is a single take with it. Noted in paragraph bold above? This is a direct quote book 1984 . The only difference is that the time has been changed to present, and "thought police" replaced by "government." The paragraph continues:

You have to live - did live, from habit that became instinct - in the assumption that every sound you make is heard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized

still true. If you shake a webcamera or a mobile phone, we know that this is now true.

What would you do if you lived in 1984? Does the thought crossed your mind? If you have not yet thought about it, the time is very late to do - we are now able to quote General Book framework to describe recent developments

Your private life is your own responsibility
