Is a big brother kind of system slowly coming upon us?

Lets face it, government is slowly taking control of areas of our life, and now have the ability to monitor everything we do but our thoughts. They got: >Satellite -Can take pictures of you without you knowing. A single satellite could pass over you multiple times in one day. >Cell phone tracking -every once in a while your phone lets out a signal that goes to multiple cell phone towers. With these, it is possible to locate your exact location. Even without this, most phones now have tracking features. >Surveillance cameras -Becoming increasingly common in public places, surveillance cameras are literally used to observe the masses. >Internet tracking -With a touch of a button, agencies around the world could find out who you are, when you access your computer and what you do while on it. Google chrome only makes it easier. And much more. Is a Big Brother Agency going to rise and take advantage of these things, as I for one feel that the time is coming.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MyNameIsCharlie No. Why? The focus problem. There are how many FBI, CIA, NSA, Secret Service etc... agents vs how many Americans? How do they focus on me as a person? As much as I would like to believe we have the power to sift through millions of people to find the ones we don't like, we can't. If we could we would have found and arrested 20 or so Saudi nationals who were in our country with out jobs, taking flying lessons who weren't concerned with landing the plane. Several of whom were on a terrorist watch list. Nope, the powers that be struggle with the actual threats, so I am not concerned with them getting over to the imagined ones.[/quote]They don't have to, that's what they have massive data centers and supercomputers for. Gather all the info, lets computers do the heavy analysis, and use human intelligence to follow up on the leads from that.
