Everyone had a BIG Brother!

I have heard many times big brother is watching or being taught that someone is always watching or listening. Everywhere we go we are on camera, ATM, banks, when we go shopping, parking lots, airports, subways. Every step we take we are probably under a careful watch. This article I read from the USA Today that talked how big brother is always there. The article starts with this creepy fact 

"They are in laptop webcams, video-game motion sensors, smartphone cameras, utility meters, passports and employee ID cards. Step out your front door and you could be captured in a high-resolution photograph taken from the air or street by Google orMicrosoft, as they update their respective mapping services. Drive down a city thoroughfare, cross a toll bridge, or park at certain shopping malls and your license plate will be recorded and time-stamped." 

We caring around things that allow us to be pinpointed. Some households even have onstar witch allows someone in an office across the US to turn on off your car, unlock it and even shut it off. Its creepy how at any given time we can be watched. We see in movies how they can find people in the middle of know where from outer space. We carry phones that have mini gps in them, our phones pin off towers so we can be pinpointed on a map. Our phone calls can be monitored at anytime, if we say a code word. The article also shares how posting pictures of your car on facebook can really disclose where you live. 

Last summer, industrial designer Adam Savage, co-host of the TV show MythBusters, used his iPhone to snap a photo of his Toyota Land Cruiser parked in front of his house, then posted it on Twitter. In doing so, Savage, in effect, publicly disclosed where he lives

Oh and Facebook taging a photo allows your picture to be shared and stored for anyone to see

Once you are tagged in a photo, that photo could be used to search for matches across the entire Internet, or in private databases, including those fed by surveillance cameras. "They almost certainly have the technical capability to do it," Russell says.

Just the feeling that someone could be watching is a little unsettling. Yes I'm sure this could be a little far fetched but it is very plausible.   


So just remember someone is always watching ;)
