2. Government?  Government is supposed to protect us but who protects us from the government?  How much control should the government have?  Technology gives government a lot of control weather we know it or not and maybe more than we want it to have.

3. First the Law  The 4 th Amendment- The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

4.  The 8 th Amendment- The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people  In todays terms this just means that the rights of the people cannot be infringed upon by the government. Even if it is not specified in the constitution.

5. The Technology  Face Recognition  Airport X-Ray machines  “Bugs” or wire taps  Facebook!!!!  The internet

6. How connected are you?  How many of you have a cell phone?  How many have an email address?  How many have a Facebook?  How many have a laptop?  How many have a Debit/Credit card?

8. Its too late……  If you said yes to any of the above the chances are you are very much on the grid and possibly being watched already.  Most people probably check Facebook at least 50 times a day and sometimes for 10-20 min.

9. How does this relate?  Government agencies are able to track people by using cell phones with GPS.  Anyone can track you using Facebook since we constantly update it by saying what we are doing every 5 seconds.  Anyone can already be a victim of infringed rights and not even know it happened.

10. Has government control gone too far before?  The truth is that yes government has gone too far before.  Examples- The Nazi’s and the SS - North Korea - Soviet Russia and the KGB Don’t let it happen again…
