Imagine you are walking down the center of a busy sidewalk in the Los Angeles business district. You are surrounded by dozens of people passing in one direction or another, apparently oblivious to your little life. People are bustling to and from their work, their homes and shopping in this hectic commercial world. LA is a hubub of activity but people seem to be alone. You don't notice that any one in particular even sees you pass them by except for the occasional nod or quick glance in your direction. Your little life is insignificant in the large stream of things, or so you think.
Did you take time to look at all your surroundings? Did you see the cameras at the top of the light pole two streets back? Well, it took time to see you and to snap your photo. That image with recorded date and time is stored in a massive file of computer system files that maintains logs on all public activity. Somewhere in the cache your image and your little life is stored today, yesterday, last week, last month and last year as you strolled casually down the street or browsed your favorite mall or relaxed in your favorite coffee shop. Some one can at any time run your image and find carbon copies of you in different times and different places to paint one huge collage of your little life.
Indeed, They are Watching You.
