Do you think we live in a world similar to 1984? Do you ever find yourself thinking our future will turn out like it? Our privacy is being violated by devices that are brought to you; they can track you down, they can most likely watch you from the camera, and can find out what you’re up too.

Individuality, though often taken for granted, must exist in a productive society. Of course, to truly remain genuine, one must be guaranteed a certain level of privacy.

One topic repeatedly discussed in the novel 1984, by George Orwell, is technological invasion of privacy. Throughout the novel the characters are constantly searching for an area where they are safe from the “telescreens”. “Telescreens” are similar to our modern “televisions”, the only difference being that with televisions you don’t have to worry about someone watching you from the other side of the screen. However, Orwell was correct in assuming that advanced technology would allow for other people to have access in to our private lives without our knowledge of their presence. With social media, surveillance, and powerful hackers at their disposal, the government, as well as private industry, has a strong grasp on individuals’ private

We live in a fast-paced world, one that thrives off of individuals being constantly connected to others around the world. Whether it be for an important business meeting, or for connecting with friends on one of the many social networking sites available, the luxury and convenience of such a connection allows for great leaps forwards in our technology. However, as this technology becomes more advanced, so too does the technology that exists to intrude upon our daily lives. It is the possibility of intrusion that makes one ask themselves, how close is our society to becoming one where every action is monitored? How close is the idea of western civilization to becoming a police state, such as in North Korea, or the one in George Orwell’s novel, ‘1984’? North American society is drifting towards becoming a police state at an ever increasing rate. This is shown in how North Americans are slowly losing their rights, the police force acting above the law, and the monitoring of citizens by government agencies.

As human beings, there are distinct characteristics that separate us from feral animals; the ability to create, to appreciate art, to curiously question the world and most importantly to sympathize for our kind.
