Caprica and visual media

So last week we watched Caprica (2009), and were asked to read the introduction to Nicholas Mirzoeff's book, "An Introduction to Visual Culture". The combination of the reading and the film forced me (despite attempts at avoiding it) to think about the numerous ways that individuals in the world today interact with technology unknowingly or at least without realizing it. Everyday we as individuals are videotaped when we use ATM bank machines, enter stores with surveillance, go to the drive through at most fast food restaurants, walk the halls of University or even drive our cars (traffic cameras). Our culture is becoming increasingly visual and I feel like we are slowly losing power over that technology. 10 years ago it would be considered awkward, perverted, voyeuristic (in a negative sense), and in some cases illegal to be videotaped without giving consent. A second example of technology becoming overly powerful and expanding too rapidly is the very medium I am using to convey these thoughts. Thats right folks, im talking about the internet. With unlimited numbers of wesites from pornography to facebook, to search engines and online stores the internet has without a doubt become to large for us to control or censor. Even google has created technology on cellular phones which can track our friends location and tell the individual searching where their friends are at that exact moment. Is that not a horrific invasion of privacy and personal space? I ask all of you readers to comment about wether you think this could become a real threat or just call me out as a nerd who has seen too many sci-fi thriller movies and is now paranoid of an AI attack.
