take for exampl caller-non-id...
in order to keep ur lumber confidential, u have to pay for privacy...
CCTVs are installed in some office so tt boss can monitor workers....make sure they not slacking....
with microchips and watever gadgets tt might be out in the near future, bery soon ur exact location (probably with the use of GPS) can be located.....mata can go to the specific shopping centre toilet cubicle u are peeing to arrest u....
with smartcards, ur identity info, ur bank accts, wat sch u attended, which company u worked in, how many parking summons u received, u swiped ur CC at which particular boutiques on which day wat time........all these data can be stored and retreived by the govt or govt agencies.......
privacy, u probably can't find this word in the dictionary in dunno how many years time......cos it wun exist........
its shld b rite...but well...i guess ppl has abused the word n often use as an excuse...
caller id probably serves as a device to ignore certain ppl's call...bcoz they r irritatin?
if wrkers do nt laze arund n do nth or be inefficient...doubt bosses wuld even wanna waste money installin cctv...
if u hasn't done anything wrong y do the mata wan to arrest u?
those data govt hv is juz records la...it does help dem in some ways...terrorism?
