Key Questions:
1. How has modern technology affected the privacy of the individual's personal information/life? Has privacy become "a thing of the past"?
2. How can one's personal information be used by others?
3. Should infringement of an individual's privacy with good intentions be allowed? (e.g. checking on children's personal safety)

Summary:
With the rise of modern technology, gadgets previously seen only in spy movies have become largely accessible to the masses, making the dystopian society in George Orwell's 1984, where "Big Brother" is always watching, not a distant possibility for the world today. (post discontinued...)
