Not long after the first season of Person of Interest viewed on national TV there were a lot of talks about how the government spies on us. Just recently in the news they are now talking about how the government wants certain companies to give them the DNA samples they have.
Wow this and some programs collecting information on us, how the internet tracks our movement through cookies, and how so many smart phones have GPS trackers on them are we really safe anymore? It seems like this show started off as a way to open people’s eyes of what could happen if the government created such a machine.
Has anyone ever considered maybe they have? How do you know they aren’t watching us now and tracking our every movement? We don’t. Now cities around the world are installing camera to monitor the streets. They claim this is for our safety and to help stop crime. But is this really the truth or is it what they want us to believe? Do you really feel safer on the street having thousands of cameras watching your every move? How about having the GPS activated on your phone, so iTunes, some websites, and other companies can track you. How do you feel about people tracking your location?
I for one turn mine off. I don’t want people following me around and tracking my movements. Lucky for me I live on an island that doesn’t have video cameras installed all over the place. We still have our freedom and privacy when we live here.
Do you feel like your freedom and privacy is being invaded by street cameras, GPS trackers in your phone, and cars? Tell me how you feel about this. I feel like it’s an invasion of my privacy.

@Asylum Yes I can see this one. I just don't see a lot of this here on the islands. But soon they are talking about a few streets in our town putting in cameras because kids are starting to fight around these areas and they want to control it better. I don't know if they will ever do it but one time they were talking about using them in Papeete.

@just4him Yes what started me thinking about this is that loved this show. Then a person posted here about DNA. This got me thinking of this show and how similar it is to what's happening today. Maybe not the same but I swear it could be close to the same.

They could be bugging our phones. Do you ever when on the phone hear something like a beep and wonder if someone is listening in to your phone call trying to find information?
