“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?”

At present times,

technology

prevails in our everyday life and it has widespread effects on our life.

Technology

can be used in different sectors of our lives

such

as monitoring

people

's activities.

Although

there are benefits and drawbacks regarding

this

issue, the benefits never outweigh the drawbacks.

To begin

with, there is no doubt that

technology

has brought some positivity

as well as

negativity in our lives.

Such

as with the advancement of

technology

, we can just keep an eye on

people

while

they are unaware of it.

Although

it seems a bit embarrassing it has some useful purposes like safety issues. In urban areas

for example

mostly in shopping malls, hospitals, public transport and any public gatherings,

people

are under the surveillance of CCTV which provides them maximum security and protection from harassment, sexual abuse, bullying and so on.

Furthermore

, if any crime occurs

such

as robbery or theft, the criminals can easily be caught by the

technology

of phone tracking.

Conversely

, there are some sayings that monitoring

people

's deeds is not a good practice because it breaches their privacy.

However

, privacy and safety both are basic human rights. That's why when it comes to

people

's safety issues they should not be ignored. More precisely, with the help of

technology

of monitoring

people

, crimes occur. As

people

are unaware of the monitoring they sometimes get blackmailed by criminals.

For example

, when they are monitored unknowingly, with a copy of the video they get blackmailed.

Moreover

, in shopping malls or in the medical centre there are some CCTV which do that video nudity and

then

get blackmailed by criminals.

To conclude

,

technology

has both positivity and negativity and the fact is how effectively it can be utilized for the betterment of

people

. Though the ever-increasing effects of

technology

contributed to monitoring

people

, the purpose should be only ensuring the betterment of

people

.
