Gone are the days of having any
kind of privacy, as the technology made its advancements in all walks of life,
it started to peep into our private life and we are left with little seclusion.
To put it categorically, we can say that we are technologically naked. Each and
every time we are being viewed, watched, observed and examined by the people in
and around us with the help of different visual-technological equipment.
Ever since the advent of CCTV and
pinhole cameras, it is written everywhere that “Beware you are under the
surveillance.” We are being closely monitored at every point of time and this
is possible through the technological advancements. We don’t have any privacy at all. We are
forced to act gentle and sober because we are being closely watched.
The technology is being used both
for good and bad motives. It is being used to chock the alarming rates of
crimes and fraudulent activities of politicians, officials as well as the
common man by the effective use of the technology which can record and
reproduce the visual and sound bytes. In all the highly security alerted areas
like; airports, railway stations, defense areas and important public places CCTV
and pinhole cameras are being set up to monitor the crowd in case any unusual episodes
turn out. All of us know the Tehelka findings wherein ministers indulged in
scams and bribe, the finding was powered with the help of pinhole cameras and similar
equipments.
Always the right use of the
technology authenticates its invention and as people are inclined to use the
technology for bad motives it can send the ripples of antisocial elements to
the society. All these security systems are tampered by its negative use,
wherein people make use of all these technology for bad motives by installing
them in the ladies toilets and trail rooms of big shopping malls and textile
showrooms to shoot their nudity in order to defame, to sexually and mentally
torture them and also to have a cheap bargaining with the ladies for money as
well as gains.
The advent of mobile cameras have
aggravated the already existing scandalous situation that everyone is carrying
a mobile with the facility of camera that people keep shooting and clicking visuals
and footages both wanted and unwanted and uploading them in Facebook and YouTube.
For instance; the outraged husband and boyfriend uploading the snaps and
footage of his wife and girlfriend along with him in Facebook and YouTube to
tarnish the name of his wife and girlfriend once their relationship is broken
up.
To sum up, it is wise to be
vigilant and prudent always that technology constantly trying to expose our
nudity. Nevertheless, the facts remain that we are technologically naked at the
same time we can do only little about it to cover up the nudity that the
technology exposes to the world.
