Blown to Bits Chapter 2

There are half a million cameras in London. The cameras around London are the most effective technology for tracking. Cellphones keep track of who they call and where they call from. Credit card companies know where you sent your money and what you spent your money on as well. Almost nothing in the web is private anymore, the explosive growth of technology has altered what we believe should be private anymore. In the electronic world we leave digital fingerprints such as data trails. There are many websites where you can watch what is happening in that moment! A GPS will locate wherever you are on earth. This can come in handy when getting lost or looking for a criminal. All the technology around so us keeps track of everything that we do, there's no escaping from it. Everything in the digital world is also connected to one another although we may not always see the connection, it is there. Technology has not stolen our privacy, we have given it ourselves. Sites know who we are because we tel them, also the sites keep track of who visits the them and they have our IP Address. Big Brother is always watching us and for those who have nothing to hide, there is nothing wrong with it. Besides this is the what it has come to, we have given up our privacy but to the price that we have the whole world in our hand.
