New Technologies That Threaten Our Safety And Privacy
In the USA the TV watches YOU! Technology is a wonderful thing. It makes our lives easier. But some technologies can put us in danger and threaten our privacy.
By now we all know that every modern cell phone can not only be traced with GPS technology but it can also be activated by the carrier to be utilized as a listening device unbeknownst to its end user. Add to that new more accurate facial recognition systems that utilize calculations based on the distance between your eyes, ears and nose to identify you and the influx of millions of tax dollars for city wide surveillance cameras and you would think not much crime would go unsolved. But as usual it is all about “terrorism”.
So what US cities have the most surveillance cameras? Chicago surpassed Washington DC this year for the top position. Other cities with high amounts of police surveillance are Houston, Dallas, and Austin TX as well as Denver CO, and Rochester NY.
The NSA has built a huge data center in Utah that reads every email you’ll ever send.
Many of us are aware that nothing of what we say on social networks is really private. But you’d think your emails would be safe from prying eyes — especially those of your government. But once the government completes work on a top-secret Utah data center reportedly built to spy on civilian communications.
The $2 billion facility, said to be complete by September 2013, is designed to be able to filter through yottabytes (10^24 bytes) of data. Put into perspective, that’s greater than the estimated total of all human knowledge since the dawn of mankind. If leaked information about the complex is correct, nothing will be safe from the facility’s reach, from cell phone communications to emails to what you just bought with your credit card. And encryption won’t protect you — one of the facility’s priorities is breaking even the most complex of codes.

Fleeing this country for good and seeking asylum has never looked more inviting…and it gets more so with each passing second
