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.

It is common today that with the advancements in technology, governments tend to monitor people’s daily behaviour by different methods

such

as security cameras.

However

, most individuals are unaware of the fact that they are being monitored. In fact, most of them get stressed by the idea that they are being watched since they prefer to keep their life private. 

Although

recordings can be hacked and used for fraud

such

as cases in which a hacker uses the saved

data

to get a credit card number.   On the one hand, the main objective of monitoring

devices

is to protect the public. In the case of crimes, monitoring

devices

will be of great assistance to the police so they can catch criminals quickly.

For example

, new GPS

devices

that are programmed to specify the location of stolen cars can save a lot of time and harm. The process of monitoring help to decrease the crime rates and promotes justice in society by providing the sheer truth. Even though many people might want their lives to be confidential, many would rather have safety than privacy.  

On the other hand

, the disadvantage of monitoring individuals without their approval is

data

privacy.

This

can be harmful because in some cases, people have sensitive

data

on their mobile phones.

For instance

, major mobile companies are forced by the government to put tracking software on their

devices

.

This

enables them to easily spy on anyone.

Although

the software is only for the authorities, hackers usually find creative ways to access them.

This

leads to the hacking of all sensitive

data

.

In addition

, there are strict rules governing

data

privacy, which is often neglected by the government.     In ,conclusion

it is clear that

monitoring is a double-edged sword because it has good sides

such

as security and safety but on the other side of the coin it has a bad side like the government can track you and know all about you and about your private information.
