The main issue brought up while watching these videos is privacy. I find it appalling that the government can legally track your car and see where you go throughout the day. What has this country come to if we can not go where we want when we want without being monitored by law enforcement/government. The idea of digital tattoos is also very interesting to me. I never realized that feature on the iPhone where after you take a picture sometimes it tells you who it is if they are in your contacts with a photo. It irks me to think that technology can facially recognize us because I feel as though that is a breach of privacy. Overall the government should set serious guidelines on what they can and cannot track. I understand if they track criminals or people who have done something illegal but common citizens should not be tracked by law enforcement or government without probable cause or a reason that should have to be approved by somebody. If you get hacked somebody can read your emails. Emails can tell you a lot about a person such as their interests, who they know, where they are from and even where they are going. One email being read does not seem that bad but if somebody reads all of your emails how would that make you feel. Personally I would be terrified because somebody could learn so much about me.
Something I always do to protect myself from these sorts of issues is I put a sticky note over my camera when I am not on FaceTime because people now have the ability to hack somebody's computer remotely and they can access your video camera and watch/record what you are doing. At the end of the day after watching all of these videos I have realized that even after we are gone our digital footprint will still be alive and if you say something on the internet you can never take it back even if you delete it because somewhere out there is a record of it.
