Big Brother is Listening to Everything


If You Are Talking, Big Brother is Listening. High-Tech Surveillance Equipment That is Designed to Keep us Safe is Being Used to Track and Control Us.


Big Brother is listening. The term Big Brother originated as a character in the famous book 1984, written by George Orwell. Big Brother was head of the government in one of the three areas of the world, and he was always watching.

Orwell went so far as to say that Big Brother could control the thoughts of the people and maintained 24 hour a day surveillance on every person.

Big brother has become somewhat of a joke in society, people teasing their friends that they shouldn’t do certain things because big brother is watching.

While it is a joke, the concept is not as far fetched as people would hope, often times big brother is listening or watching. Who is able to read your emails?

Well, it is certainly not only the person you sent it to, any hacker with decent skills can read your email, but that is illegal.

The government, however, passed laws which make it legal for them to read your emails. The question becomes: is it OK to make a law that makes an illegal act legal for the government to commit?

That question is one that every person in America should ponder, one to which they should decide where their viewpoint lies.



Phones

People are always on the phone in this day and age, especially with the convenience and accessibility of cellular phones. People talk to their friends and family and have business meetings on the phone.

People make jokes, talk politics and vent their frustrations. How much of what people say on the phone would the keep to themselves if they knew that big brother is listening?

Surely people wouldn’t mention their dissatisfaction with government or certain politicians. They would probably not talk about issues they see with the ongoing wars in Iraq or Afghanistan.

People do not realize that a lot of the time, they are being spied on. The government has passed sweeping laws allowing for phone tapping without warrants.

If the government deems a person to be associated with terrorism, they are allowed to institute wire taps and listen in without any further justification.

Is your phone call being listened to right now? Is the government listening to you tell your wife or children you love them?

Are they listening to you plan your date for tonight, or bitch to your friends about the current state of the country? What would you be saying different if you knew for sure that someone is listening.


Computers

Today, most people in America have a computer. We use these computers to write documents, send emails, browse the internet and play games.

While it is not technically listening, big brother is listening to what we do on our computers as well.

The use the authority of the same laws which allow for wiretaps, to read emails and look at browsing histories.

The government can look at your emails and see who you are corresponding with, and what you are discussing. Hopefully, none of your friends are considered to be terrorists, if so, you are guilty by association.

People are being watched whether or not there is any evidence against them for criminal activities. Big brother is listening.

They are listening to phone calls and emails, instant messages and your browsing history. Everyone should know that this is occurring, and with that knowledge, behave as they see fit.
