Blown to Bits Summary
Throughout the story, several things decided to stand out to me like the fact that once the suicide bombers in London decided to attack, technology was uprooting tremendously and cameras is what everyone would use. I think that whole paragraph explaining the bombing was intresting to me, " On July 7, 2005, London was shaken as suicide bombers detonated four explosions, three on subways and one on a double-decker bus. The attack on the transit system was carefully timed to occur at rush hour, maximizing its destructive impact. 52 people died and 700 more were injured". Little did owell know that his uproot would create more kaos than every and let to the lack of privacy we now face. The explosive growth in digital technologies radically altered our expectations about what will be private and shifted our thinking about what should be private. Ironically, the notion of privacy has become fuzzier at the same time as the secrecy-enhancing technology of encryption has become widespread. Indeed, it is remarkable that we no longer blink at intrusions that a decade ago would have seemed shocking. Unlike the story of secrecy, there was no single technological event that caused the change, no privacy-shattering breakthrough—only a steady advance on several technological fronts that ultimately passed a tipping point. Now we lack privacy more than ever and I think that's what stood out to me because I advocate towards my freedom. I go against the government guarding me like a puppy. I am a human being and I should be served the rights I was supposedly born with.
