Nowadays technology is increasingly being used to monitor what people are saying and doing (for example, through cellphone tracking and security cameras). In many cases, the people being monitored are unaware that this is happening. Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

In the modern world, it is true that we sometimes are being watched by advanced technology,

such

as GPS mobile tracking and security cameras.

Although

some people are concerned for their privacy being undermined by those tracking devices, I personally think that they have brought more benefits to society in general. One of the common concerns about the use of surveillance systems is the infringement of our personal freedom. Since every moment in our life is being recorded, we may feel uneasy and even insecure, and what we consider privacy will no longer remain personal as they are all tracked and stored by a

third

party and sometimes without our consent. What is more, these recordings could be leaked onto the Internet and used for malevolent purposes.

However

, the application of monitoring and tracking systems to daily life has

also

brought some benefits. One of these benefits is that it helps strengthen the security of society and improve safety of people.

For example

be used as a personal care aide.

For example

, smart wearable gadgets with GPS tracking

as Apple watches could allow doctors to monitor the health conditions of patients wherever they are. The devices could

However

, stricter laws are needed to protect individual privacy and regulate who could access and what can be done to information collected by these devices.
