The picture is a speeding camera that takes users information and sends it into an information system. The picture is connected to the article because as Greg Elmer explains we live in a prison society that surveils using its power of tech to form information on the individual or groups. Society already has a hub of everyone’s information. This system of control that Elmer talks about is rapidly expanding using surveillance.

We see how fast this design is implemented by looking at our everyday lives. When we drive our cars not only are we followed by the lens but if any mistakes are made, we become aware through a flash of light. In this care the speeding camera analysis the picture of your car and sends a ticket to your home immediately. With this information management of our lives, it’s easy for us to see the power that encompasses us. We are forced to fight through this understanding of being watched and makes us change. For better or worse, our lives shouldn’t be changing because of surveillance.

This picture shows a camera facing the cashier and customers in an attempt to pivot thoughts of theft from both. The picture is connected to Naughton’s article on Zuboff’s 10 key questions because surveillance capitalism is now being used as a norm and it’s a commodity to work for an employer with no supervision or some type of surveillance. The inevitability that surveillance will increase in our lifetime and by one point be an integral part of everything we do is clear.

Behaviors is a big part in this article because its helping surveillance in a new territory to prevent or see the buildup for crime. Like a store camera making sure cashiers do the right thing every day, we see more cameras being placed in our neighborhoods. A controlled store can be viewed as our society in a larger scale, we are the cashiers now. Just by walking home we are being watched by a concealed system. How do we fight this system that we now know about?

New York Police Departments have implemented body cameras to the uniform to surveil not only the assailants but themselves. This article is not only connected to the picture but is a great importance to the well-being of society. Policing themselves before others is the foundation we should strive for. When people are put into a higher position, especially if lives are at risk, we must have forms of surveillance to protect the people against potential evildoers in authority. We have seen the many fall outs in New York and now the present surveillance of the authorities to take away the power of concealment.
