On Big Brother and Surveillance (Required 8)

I use technologies every day that enable my actions to be surveyed; everything from my work computer to my online bank accounts. My work computer is on a public hub that is monitored by the IT guy, and nothing can be added to the computer with permission from the IT guy (he owns the administrator account to every computer on site). I am sure that my cell phone and own personal computer are subject to surveillance if someone deemed it necessary- yes, I believe that someone is watching internet traffic and can red flag a user who hits on a site that has been put on a CIA watch list. Because I am confident that my actions are within the realm of reason, I do not anticipate any kind of change in my life by being subject to surveillance.The above statement held true for the two day trial in which I went about my regular routine at work and at home, and no one tried to confront me about my actions. I have found it is too difficult to try to track where your own personal data flows while surfing the web, but it is within reason to monitor what I put out on the internet. Remembering to log off of sites and my computer at days end, limits the ability of others to access my computer after hours. All in all, surveillance does not affect what I do from day to day, but it does make me paranoid that surveillance can only become more intense and that one day Big Brother really will be watching our every movement.....
