¶ … 1984" is a caution that was given to humankind. It is a political oriented statement with no farsighted declaration. 35 years after his book was published; Orwell could not believe that Big Brother would rule the world. He, however, frequently warned of 1984 unless people acknowledged that their personal rights had been violated and defended them, especially their freedom of opinion (BOSSCHE, 1984).
Surveillance with Technology
Are we back to "Nineteen Eighty-Four"? The technological advancements of data collection, surveillance and storage certainly are beyond what Orwell had in mind. Due to the elimination of deceit, Oceania's observation state has to operate openly. The narrator says that use of mails to communicate was prohibited. All letters were openly read while they were being transported. It looks like an analogue type of Snowden's description: The N.S.A., particularly, has its eye on all communications and definitely embraces them. The use of phone calls, text messages and e-mails hence feels safer, the importance of the message notwithstanding. It never mattered whether there was anyone supervising people's communication, there was a naive belief that their digital messages would remain private for good. In spite of the government's invasion programs, digital...
Pesce, however, states that people may not tell apart safe tracking of data from unhealthy surveillance. Younger people have grown up to freely share unlike the older people who are still skeptical of the idea. Older people can be classified as completely on board with sharing everything to extremely cynical. Some don't even own mobile phones. We cannot define the most appropriate reaction since people are not fully familiar with this. We haven't really taken note of critical distancing. We do not seem to mind when Google is watching our communications but when it comes to the government, it is a totally different case. We are more afraid of the government watching than we are of Google (Funnell, 2014).
Simulating Today's Political Scenario
Orwell's writings always give an illumination of acute present-day importance. What is the cause of the EU's current serious and threatening crisis? Is it because India has the potential of becoming a nation? According to Orwell, more than six and a half decades ago, Europe, which is scarcely populated and racially homogenous, is not a nation. Every effort made to make it a nation has failed. Why do Americans take…

Based on this information, supermarkets can highlight certain areas of their floor space over others. The supermarkets can thus charge higher prices for the more premium spaces, giving suppliers a choice of where to park their products. This practice is a win situation for supermarkets, allowing them to meet their duties to their stockholders and their employees. In fact, any increased earnings from the premium display places can be passed

" (MediLexicon International, Ltd., 2006). The PCIP was formed from the recognition that high costs and low quality inherent in the Healthcare system of the U.S. is largely due to a system that is antiquated and fragmented (DOHMH, 2006a). The inability to properly collect and use health information is one of the primary problems associated with proper health care maintenance. The PCIP. was formed in response to this need. The primary
Studies suggest that even "more "omniscient" technology is likely to be developed" in the near future (Lyon, 2002). Cookies were perhaps the first form of internet surveillance, developed in 1994 as a means for websites to track visitors logging in so they could provide more optimal service (Lyon, 2002). Now cookies have transformed the shape of communication and have further advanced the ability of criminals to survey individual user functions
Studies done by the United States Defense Department have discovered the technology to be correct only fifty-four percent of the time. Furthermore, the study found that the systems could easily be compromised by alterations in weight, hair color, sunglasses, and even weather and lighting alterations (McCullagh & Zarate, 2002). Additionally, behavioral recognition software can often incorrectly identify movements, such as tree branches, and follow those objects instead of actual
