In today’s information-starved and fear-driven society, surveillance technology seems to be deployed almost everywhere—and a surveillance mind-set is just as ubiquitous. This program introduces students to the concept of a “surveillance society” and shows how cutting-edge tools are being developed to identify, monitor, and track both people and objects. Viewers are empowered to explore the central paradox of surveillance technology—specifically, that it seems to bring advantages, making us safer and our lives more convenient, but at what cost to privacy and individual freedoms?
