Self-Surveillance Presentation Summary-- Zack, Erica, Minhee

After bringing together all of our results from the self-surveillance experiment, we found that our experiences were largely the same. First of all, we all noted how the only place where we were really in private was at home, however, we established that even at home we are being watched. Once we open our laptops and log into the internet, we are being tracked. We also conceded that, even though the internet is not private, we are still willing to use it. The internet, phones, and other tracking devices are almost essential in order to be included in our mediated world. It would be very difficult socially, economically, and perhaps even politically if we were to give up these tools, even if it means losing our fundamental privacy.
