Surveillance In Big Brother By George Orwell

“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past” (by. George Orwell, 1984). The more and more we move on in life, the more we advance in our technology and with this happening the government controls the way we do things. The government watches our every move with all the different types of surveillance that are being added to our community. In the book “Big Brother”, they have many examples of how they use surveillance in their everyday lives. Some examples include helicopters, police cameras, and listening in on everybody's conversation through their cellular devices, whether it’s a cell phone or computer or tablets.

While reading the article “That's not my phone. That’s my tracker” it coincides with

The following quote is a perfect example of my thoughts with hate turning to war: “The war, therefore if we judge it by the standards of previous wars, is merely an imposture. It is like the battles between certain ruminant animals whose horns are incapable of hurting one another. But though it is unreal it is not meaningless.” (Orwell, Chapter 9) In the end, those who win a war battle end up losing a piece of themselves. “It eats up the surplus of consumable goods, and it helps to preserve the special mental atmosphere that the hierarchical society needs. War, it will be seen, is now a purely internal affair. In the past, the ruling groups of all countries, although they might recognize their common interest and therefore limit the destructiveness of war, did fight against one another, and the victor always plundered the vanquished. In our own day they are not fighting against one another at all. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact. The very word "war,"
