- Computer cameras. Nowadays people found a way how to spy on other using their own laptop cameras. They even learned how to go around the security system (small light near web cam, which usually works when camera is filming). So in theory we never know if someone is not spying on us.
- GPS. Nowadays it is usually already installed in every new mobile phone, but even though it is not it is not hard to do that. People are tend to have their phones with them all the time, so if someone can track your phone GPS, he knows every place you go to.
- Listening to phone calls. Phone calls can be recorded, so every talk can be saved or someone can be listening to it.
- Using the internet to find personal information. Even though people don't give their all information on some kind of chat room, someone can still get it if they know just a few things about you. So no information that has been put on internet is entirely safe.
- Tracking your browsing history. Every keystroke that we make is saved in our browsing history. Nowadays there exists programs that allows other people to access all that information without you knowing.
It looks like people are not safe anywhere. Every technology that we use can be tracked, so do we.
Recently I found out that I am being tracked too. I found all my location history on Google. Turns out that Google on my phone has been tracking be all the time. So I was able to check my location history even from last year. I took some screenshots of what I found. At the top left corner there is dates and red marks on a plan shows which places I visited.
To find that all I need is to log into my Google account. Here a couple more people location histories that I was able to access:
So I decided that my final project is going to include Google maps and the fact we are always being tracked.
On the other hand were not being tracked if we were not addicted to our smartphones. It is hard to imagine co our life without technology. I found a couple collages on the internet that shows how we are becoming cyborgs just by using technology in our daily life.
