Technology is improving more and more every second. About 10 years ago, internet took more than half an hour to connect from oversized desktop computers. Now, it takes a click on a keyboard of an ultra-light laptop to connect to the internet. Technology evolved as the years passed by and now our cell phones, laptops, mp3 players, digital cameras are part of our everyday lives. These days, workers are tracked with navigation systems by employers, phone lines are tapped when certain words are used, e-mails are read, homes are survaillanced through the internet. But, how far does this go? Do our parents have to know exact coordinates of our whereabouts any time they want? Should we be scared that we might be interpreted as a terrorist every time we are on the phone? Indeed, technology is used for good causes but it violates our privacy. One of the biggest example to advantages of technology could be; governments stopping terrorists attacks and illegal activities by spying.
