Theme for project

Theme chosen is Surveillance and privacy.

New media in a surveillance society.

*In the UK there are at least 4 million registered CCTV cameras.
*The UK has the densest CCTV coverage of public space.
*There are many ways in which we are being monitored, it is not just the surveillance cameras.
*Number plates, Mobile phones, store cards, satellites, credit cards, electoral roll, NHS patient records, phone tapping, bugs, worker call monitoring and cookies are just some of the other ways we are watched.
*We are becoming if not already a surveillance society.

No matter where you go or what you do just remember you ARE being watched!
