Modern society has incorporated Surveillance culture into our daily lives with alacrity, allowing huge corporations to harvest our private date, monitoring our movements, checking our social media use and community policing. Cracked Myths, albeit set in an ancient world, comments on this. Graceco Roman pillars have surveillance cameras attached to them, the three Cyclopes have surveillance camera eyes as does the nerdy Goddess Clio with her huge spectacles reading her Cracked Myths book.
Surveillance Capitalism
Modern surveillance culture is deeply driven by the profit motive. Huge tech companies monitor our use of searches, clicks, location and purchases to build personal profiles, which in turn targets advertising to make you buy even more. But people seem to accept the trade-off between invasive tracking in exchange for easy digital services, personalised entertainment, and security.
Social & Everyday Surveillance
People use digital tools themselves to monitor their friends and families using location-sharing and home security networks to keep tabs one people.
