Positive And Negative Effects Of Internet Technology

According to “A Surveillance Society” By William E. Thompson there are camera everywhere, watching everything you do at all times. Cameras are found everywhere and are used by everyone, including the governments of the world who use it the most to track its citizens and potential threats to the safety of their nation. People are more willing to be watched in order to feel safer everywhere they go such as the supermarket to your own workplace. Governments can now look into your email, travel records, credit history and your personal life without your knowledge of them ever doing so, even your neighbors can now easily buy tools to spy on others or to protect themselves from danger; Things such as security cameras

* The introduction of wireless video surveillance positioned on official government vehicles have been a big hit. I believe that the new wireless video surveillance cameras, which are attached to the back or front of a vehicle, would be the perfect fit for security settings. These cameras enforce parking laws, and crime-fighting errors (Hamblen & Thibodeau, 2008). The cameras would provide an extra eye for security guards in neighborhoods, and commercial areas, which need the help because in most cases, there is only one guard on duty in such a large area, so it would be convenient to have another eye to catch crime. The various crimes that it could catch are,

Although the cameras keep track of people for most of their lifetime outside their homes, the surveillance is necessary to regulate citizens and prevent them from doing criminal activity. Cameras control a large part of people’s lives, with purpose “to enforce good laws... to track the government’s political enemies, to gather ammunition for blackmail, and so on,” (Volokh 9). Cameras do not watch everyday activities to observe where one needs to go, but they are there to examine the cities for thieves and vandals. While these cameras appear in almost every part of the city, and people are unaware of what information of theirs is being taken away, the government or city does not scrutinize and judge people for everything they do. Unless a recent crime has occurred and the police requires its usage to track down the suspect, only then would a footage be released for the public regarding the criminal. Otherwise, other trivial and personal information about where one goes is not revealed. Whether the information is recorded or not, it does not affect the normal citizens who live in the area who have done nothing

Now : Surveillance cameras in most buildings (operated by businesses), and in some public streets (operated by police) to prevent crime. Although most of these cameras are operated by private businesses instead

I am always scared that my manager is going to look at the cameras after every shift and she would find a moment in which I was not working to my fullest potential, and would reprimand me. I also feel like surveillance systems can be used as a defense for the worker whenever they believe that or accuse a customer for shoplifting. All the worker would have to do is quickly go back and review the cameras before making their statement. If a customer feels that they are being harassed or discriminated by a worker, all the customer would have to do is make a request for the manager to review the surveillance tapes and then the customer’s claim will either be justified and taken into consideration, or it will be discarded. Cameras mounted on street signs can log cars by license plate number, scan facial characteristics, and take notes of vehicles repeatedly circling or driving above or below the speed limit. About two summers ago, my friends and I took a day-trip down to Washing D.C. I decided to drive down there since my car was the safest and out of all of the other cars, my car had the most gas in it. While we were down there, I accidentally ran a red

Although many citizens believe that all the cameras would create problems, their main use is

This could be solved through some big manufactures or through many small ones, which can help these companies out and also add to the peace throughout the communities. Another claim is that these cameras are unmanageable, they take too much storage up, which also leads into the most controversial element, privacy. Turning these cameras on and have them always running is subject to invade the privacy of our citizens in some way at the least. A solution to this is not having the cameras always run, but when an officer gets a call or when a circumstance comes up. Also, is vital and timing is everything, and it needs to be heavily implemented in teaching officers about these body

the cameras that are used today are used to monitor people in a way of protection. For

Surveillance cameras are needed for public places in order to ensure safety of all individuals. The government, for the most part, is on Americans side and wants to ensure Americans protection. Safety in shopping centers, in traffic, and on the streets is a huge issue in America today. Despite what the majority of Americans believe, officers do care about the people in the cars and want to ensure their safety at all times. Privacy is not dead in America, people have violated the trust of others and as a result have lost complete privacy.

The article “A Surveillance Society” written by, William E. Thompson and Joseph V. Hickey, discusses the growing trend of using cameras in public places. The British have been the most active in using public cameras and approximately 4.2 million have been placed and still growing. The United States’ surveillance are increasingly growing since 9/11. Devices such as face-recognition and “photo radar” have caught on, and the USA PATRIOT Act, expands the government’s authority to “spy” on private citizens. The government can access private security cameras in places such as; hotels, malls, parking lots, and even parks. Many people are wary of the new devices, but only a small part of surveillance is actually seen by citizens. Police and military

The use of surveillance systems in roads, stations, malls, traffic or airports has led to a huge amount of data that needs to be analyzed for safety, retrieval or even commercial reasons. The task of automatically detecting frames with anomalous events from long duration video sequences has concerned

Possibly the technological feature creating the most controversy is surveillance cameras. What is seemingly there for public safety could also inhibit safety by exposing the public’s private life. Every move made under the hawk-like vision of the camera is observed and judged by someone sitting behind the scenes. Women risk being stalked by sexual predators, and assailants have been known to memorize the schedule of a subject in order to time the perfect attack (Stead). “Bad cops” may gain insight to a personal life that allows for the watcher to blackmail the victim. In recent studies it has been proven that an increase in surveillance cameras does not decrease the crime rate; it

In the modern world there have been a lot of technological advances within societies. Technology concerns about security and surveillance has changed the thoughts of people. This surveillance technology consist of spying video cameras, CCTV security and surveillance cameras, surveillance electronic communications, face recognition and many others. Some people think this technology is okay while others carry a different view.  These people feel that it is an invasion of privacy, especially when it is in a public place. Use of surveillance technology are impinging on our privacy as they are affecting student moral, privacy at workplace, behavior of people, life

Our society would not survive in the 21st century without the help of electronic surveillance. Safety is one of the main purposes of electronic surveillance. Safety is the state of being secure and free from danger of any sort. Today, many would rather give up their privacy for safety (Smithsimon). In fact, surveillance gadgets such as cameras, radio tracking chips and house alarms are used in many places to ensure safety. For instance, a parent can easily place a hidden camera in a stuffed animal in order to see how the babysitter handles his or her child (Public Places Have Eyes). Cameras are also used to ensure safety on school premises. According to the GCC College Safety website, "the college has an extensive system of surveillance

The project Smart CCTV camera surveillance system is to enhance the CCTV camera based security systems, which presently exist in different places. The Project Security System by using CCTV Camera is designed using wireless technology. The use of a surveillance system for image detection is becoming more important. An embedded surveillance system is frequently used in the home, office or factory for image processing of the surveillance system and also for traffic moni-toring but this configuration requires a high performance core, which works against some advantages of embedded systems, such as low power consumption and low cost. Some designs propose the use of different sensors to track the sequence of the human body movement. Other researchers construct an external signal to trigger the embedded surveillance system by means of a PIR sensor, which
