Assignment 6

This article kind of scared me. It's not like its a small company trying to steal information but instead a large widely used company invading the publics privacy.
What this does is makes fear become larger. Instead of feeling safe, we realize that even within our own country we are being watched and recorded. It is almost like a "Big Brother" feeling.

Hopefully in the future we will not have to worry about who is watching us and who is invading our privacy. As of right now if I called family who lived in Colorado I wouldn't know if i was being recorded or if i was being listened to. Ever since 9/11 the country has been living in fear and we have been slowly been coming back to normal. When something like this come along, all it does is back track us into fear again and we have to start all over. We need to start in our own country first before we decide to "help" other countries.
