Consequences of Progress-Big Eyes, Big Ears and Big Recorders

With  Big Brothers, Big Eyes and Big Ears all over the place, is there room for privacy, any space for your own private moments? The media report stories of  mentally sick people who go around planting hidden eyes in bathrooms, bed rooms, etc...Then there were those planted in public toilets and so on.....Frightening yes? Looks like no one can be trusted. Technicians who come  fix your water heater, may be tempted into such acts. There was a case in India -the intimate acts of a husband and wife were recorded and the person who planted it was none other than the woman's own father-in law, apparently, the husband couldn't care two hoots!! Talk about evil! Some wayward husbands are also in the act so don't  even talk about boyfriends!! We cannot be too careful and yet careful had lost its meaning because such gadgets are so cheap nowadays and these peeping Toms and intruders have a way of climbing through our security nets. 

They compromise your phones, 3rd, 4th ears could be listening in to your private conversations and your secrets broadcasted for the whole world to hear. Even if you are having a private conversation with a good friend, you may never know if your conversation is being recorded-ha! ha! smart phones can do wonders nowadays! Good lord, just about everything has more than one function in today's world. ! You cannot escape the unstoppable onslaught..the invasion of privacy...not since the invention of CCTV, the remote monitoring and the  long and short range "see, see, free show, and the listen! listen, listen !!" .

Lately, someone found a gadget in her car... Oh what about the movement trackers? Companies use it for a valid reason to track their staff who work out side the office whether it be a driver, a sales person  or technical staff-to protect their vehicles and goods and what nots. But many devious people are also using it to track and control  the people in their lives...on the pretext   of " caring " My foot!!

You are on stage all the time, everything you say and do is on camera and recorded. You computer has more virus than one...and of course more eyes than you imagine! Theft can happen in so many ways!! And of course no privacy lah! But perhaps, soon they will  invent a security force field to effectively shut out the prying eyes and ears...who knows??

If before, you do not understand the meaning of " walls have ears",  you ought to, now..but add in EYES as well yeah? Good gracious, I hope the smiles we see around us are genuine and not plastic!!

So, people, pray for the preservation of privacy! Let's just hope everyday progress does not advance to a stage where others could read our thoughts and steal our ideas right out of   our mindsl!! That is,  if  it is not already happening !!

Hei, that is already common knowledge. But what the heck? Just for a little variety!!
