Do you remember 1984? The novel that coined the phrase Big Brother is watching you? It may have taken a few decades after 1984, but today, it does appear that no matter where you go or what you do, you at least run the risk of being watched and viewed with a Digital camcorder. And, depending on what you're actually doing, watched and viewed on a Digital camcorder can easily transmogrify into caught and exposed.

Today's world is truly a 24 hour world.We can now, thanks to modern technology, Refurbished Electronics, communicate with whomever we need to speak to, whenever we need to speak to them. Since we are in the information age, it stands to reason that information can and will be shared with others very quickly.

Look at cell phones, which, when first introduced, were used to just make simple phone calls while on the go. Rather than needing to get a quarter, than locate a pay phone to make a call, you could just pull out your cell phone and dial instantly. But, cell phones soon became a tool used to report, rather than just to talk. Now, of course, if you have a cell phone and you see someone in distress and who needs assistance, you should definitely make that call. Cell phones quickly made trivial items turn into news reports. Again, is that really necessary?

Today's modern cell phones are now equipped with a video camera. Today, everyone can be a roving eyewitness reporter and get live, first-hand footage of any event just by turning on the cell phone and hitting the record button. From disasters like Hurricane Katrina to the Michael Richards meltdown, events, news and things that aren't so newsworthy were being caught and recorded on video cameras that are popping up just about everywhere.

And when that video is recorded, you can bet your bottom dollar that it's going to end up on the internet. The internet is now the world's news network, and anyone who uploads a video or file onto the web is now a reporter. Everyone is watching everyone else, and everyone can't wait to tell everyone else what everyone else is doing. That is the essence of our completely connected technological world.
