Fang-Yu Chang from Taiwan Before I started thinking about privacy, I never realized that there are a lot of people who are snooping on our privacy. I had heard that some people can look at what you have searched for when you use the Internet on a computer. I also knew that there were video cameras in work places, but I never thought of that as invasion of privacy. Why do companies set up cameras to watch what employees are doing? Maybe they are afraid that employees might be doing something bad for the company. I worked in a company for two months, and in that company, there were a lot of cameras to watch both employees and customers. The reason was that employers wanted to prevent employees and customers from stealing goods from the company, and they wanted to make sure that you worked. As for me, it didn't bother me. I didn't consider it losing my privacy because I worked hard and I was honest, so I wasn't concerned about the camera behind me. Work is work; rest is rest.
