Surveillance: Keeping People Safe and Companies Growing

After watching the show about the schools that are monitored my cameras, I began thinking about surveillance in general. To be honest, as I mentioned in class, I think that surveillance leads to productivity and overall a better environment. Cameras in the work place and classroom are often very discreet, and as long as employees and teachers are notifited of thier presence, I feel as thougth they should not have a significant impact on peoples actions.

If the teachers you hire and employees you hire are leigitnment people with good intentions and a good work ethic, then cameras keep them safe. An environment in which employees work to thier maximum and don't waste time on the clock is an environment prone to success and growth. If teachers and employees that are being surrveilled are allowed an appropriate amount of break time during a work day, then every action while not on break ideally is should be a productive one.

SMS Alert

So I was thinking about this texting phenomena that we were discussing in relation to the article we read for Wednesday....

And I have come to the conclusion that while the power of texting can lead to scary and uncontrollable situations in some extreme circumstances, the overall power of cell phones and texting has improved the way society works.

We have been able to cut out the uncertainty of correspondence between people and now how means of direct and almost communication. Texting and email alerts have lead to a society that can run faster, smoother, and more reliably.
