Is technology too invasive?
Is George Orwell's book 1984 coming true is big brother watching our every move. More today than ever it seems like technology is tracking everything that we are doing in our daily life. Our cell phones track our locations and offer us suggestions like places to eat and reviews of other businesses that are close by. According to www.techtimes.com devices now outnumber people on the planet. Each device is reporting its location giving suggestions. Devices communicate with each other, phones can tell the thermometer in her your home that you have woke up and can automatically adjust the temperature to a desired level. Pictures taken on a cell phone have a geo-location stamp that tells where the picture was taken and if they are posted on a social media site, a stranger may be able to find the location of your home. Everything is tracked including the searches that an individual makes on the web.
The question is the convenience worth the invasion of your privacy. The tracking makes many things better and faster. Web searches will be better and faster, searches will give you results
