Is Anybody Watching?
Be aware, very aware of your actions; because there are those out there…they are watching.
Is Anybody Watching?
This is a serious question and the answer is yes! It does not matter where you are or what you’re doing, your tracks are traceable. If you’re online, your activities are monitored; some say no way, but yes. On some site if you curse your prohibited from using their site. Somebody is watching.
You drive a car? You have insurance? Auto insurance? Life insurance?

Well all that information is composed into a data file add ez-pass and now they know where you are going and how fast you drive. How so you may ask? Well if you get on a turnpike at exit 5 and get off at exit 17,and the officials say that if you do 55 miles per hour it should take you at least 2 hours; and you arrive in less than an hour an one half. Guess what somebody watching knows you were going faster than 55 miles per hour.
Your health, yes that too is being monitored, Doctor are required by law to enter all information into a computer; for now it is “private”; but over time things will change. How one may ask? Well an insurance company offering medical insurance will have the ability to read you health records; and according to that it will determine the type of life insurance that you will be able to obtain.
Let us now look at the “larger” picture:
The IRS monitors the money and taxes we pay
E-zee pass monitors our speed, which may cost us a fine…… and may affect our health and life insurance. Who wants to insure a person driving 80-90 miles per hour?
The doctors have all our medical records in one convenient little file, private for now, but for how long. Private practices are closing up everyday; this leaves a highly professional doctor no choice but to work in a large hospital; now your records are intertwined with their records. Now that doctor who you trusted turns over your private information to someone who is watching.
Our freedom, our rights and most importantly our privacy is being taken away day by day; and soon, our destiny will be decided by none other that, someone who is watching.

I agree with every thing you say in this article.
Unfortunately in England we have many home grown terrorist now, which have to be monitored. Surveillance is applied to all, so discrimination cannot be claimed.

Lol@ erwinkennythomas. Isn’t this invasion of privacy. This is horrible. I think it’s horrible that you can Google anyone and find out whatever you want.

We really have very little privacy. Everything we do is known. Makes you wonder how so many criminals avoid the law. They must know something we don’t.

It looks like Big Brother from 1984 is here.

In this day and age, we are being watched closely, so much so that we might sooner or later lose our freedom.
