Technology Makes Snooping Easier

Paola Montsalve from Mexico

satellite surveillance

People now think they have the right to see and observe everything. Big Brother practices are on the rise, but does the improvement of technology really give us the opportunity to invade others' privacy? It seems so.

Now there are so many invasion of privacy practices such as wire tapping, video cameras, hidden microphones, even satellite tracking that people think just because these exist, they have the right to use them.

Clearly, what people don't understand is the difference between surveillance and invasion of privacy. I think employers have the right to keep watch on their employees, but that doesn't mean they can buy, snoop, or monitor their private lives.

Before I started thinking about this topic, I wasn't worried where I was being monitored. I don't mean now I'm worried, but now wherever I go, I know hidden cameras are keeping an eye on me.
