Hmmm...

After watching the ID channel...
As technology becomes increasingly immediate, humans become increasingly dependent on technology for lived experience. By becoming part of the computer realm, people have become part of a very personal, yet contrived, community. And in doing so, these same people have given themselves to an online network that is, in some ways, uncontrollable and unpredictable. At the same time, peoples' online lives are tracked and traceable, and their past is forever archived somewhere. If society continues to become more and more immersed in a technological world, we may find ourselves living in a created place where we are constantly monitored. Or maybe we are already there.

GPS doesn't just help you find your way...it helps people find you.

Our secrets are embedded in our computer. Just watch an investigation unfold: detectives are able to find a suspect's emails, conversations, deleted documents, text messages, contacts, and online searches, and much more, just by confiscating a computer.
