I hope not, but it seems the more sophisticated technology is, the more you're spied on. Being a private person, I don't understand the appeal of putting one's personal life on stuff like Facebook. Even my cable box tracks what I watch, what I record, when I mute TV, etc. according to this article I read about technology "watching" you.

Smart phones, shopping sites, etc. are "smart" enough to track your movements, like what you look at, what you buy, etc.

Here, there are a lot of cameras: At busy intersections, in a lot of stores, and now even in my building. They say it's for security, but I think it's to spy on people.

Also, I get stared at a lot and attract CREEPY men. It's rude to stare at people.

In short, I don't like it. I'm a private person and don't think anyone needs to know what I view, buy, etc. It comes down to making money: Advertisers want to target you based on your behavior, in most cases.
