Shanken pg 228-247

On page 245, Shanken discusses artists Steve Mann and it's a bit disturbing what he says,"Military computer vision systems are now turned back toward us where the hidden cameras in the public baths transform our world from Baywatch to Bathwatch. Hidden underwater cameras in municipal swimming baths (246)." I'm not sure on how accurate or widespread something like this is, but just thinking about it makes me think that anyone could be watching me. Just kidding,  I'm not that paranoid. I'm glad I'm not that famous for someone to even want to spy on me and I wouldn't want that either. But this brings into question our privacy. How private are our lives in reality? Just because someone isn't recording you with a camera doesn't mean that they can't monitor you somehow. For example, anyone who has Internet can be monitored by the Internet Provider which does keep track of every website visited and what a person downloads. Most people are oblivious to the fact that they are in a sense being watched, but not directly but indirectly. It's not like the ISP is going to fine you for downloading illegal content which they could do by advising proper authorities. Either way, they're probably more concerned about how much bandwidth a person uses or as long as they pay their Internet bills on time.
