Technology is invading personal life


In the recent years technological advances have improved, and people are creating new devices. This can have many benefits in your life because it can help you to live better or to make a job easier. But if people create things “to keep track on you”, it can become annoying and unsecure. As in the reading from class “Big brother is watching: The technologies that keep track of you”, more cameras, chips for identification, or sensors are being placed in products.


I think that with this technologies the people’s life can be published anywhere, or the owners can know information about your personal life. For example, in the article said that the owners of a company could read or see how many mails you send. I consider this wrong, because people must respect the privacy, and it is not correct that just because they want to see the employers’ activities and have control of them, they do it. Also this is wrong because any person (bad people) can get the chips and stalk you, and make bad use of the information they gather. I think technology should only be used on the necessary things.
