Why the idea of surveillance is intimidating and coarse?

Surveillance might not sound appealing in its first appearance, but in its core, it has several layers. It might remind you of the several movies and tv shows highlighting the evil that lurks behind, but as the criminal activities are rising, it might appear as the necessary evil.

Do we really need it?

In a single word — Yes.

Sounds contracting? — This is the very nature of surveillance that impels our minds and provokes thousand questions.

Here are few points that you should keep in mind before it takes over our daily life.

Security — The very first thought that strikes us is how it would integrate the security in our day-to-day life. It is true, its presence does help in reducing the criminal activity — as it is not possible for police to be omnipresent. Though, it has not fully eradicated crime — but one can sleep in peace for few seconds.

Ladies feel much safer travelling late at night/alone.

The technical assistance — a lot of shopkeepers and households are not using it fearing the technical assistance. It might require much more vigorous assistance — at times, hiring a single individual sounds much safer. You can handle such situations with much ease.

It might be an opening for the technical graduates to find the field to shine — their experience might add benefits to its field.

IOT (Internet of Things) — IOT or Internet of Things is the latest buzz word — thousands of startups and companies are vigorously investing in it as it has been predicted the most promising uprising element of the coming years. Its presence has surely fueled the automated homes and devices, and as the internet and smart devices continue to sell as hot cakes, there is no denial they are set to rise in the coming future.

There are several elements that have successfully led the 21st century and we might continue to see rise of several new ones. We are seeing growth of e-commerce at exponential rate — internet has opened ways for common households and enterprises that can expand their territories to new domains.

We better be prepared, or else, it would be a challenge to keep up.
