I do believe we have a big brother watching over us today.  It is not nearly as serious as "big brother" was in 1984, but on the otherhand I can see how it might be.  We watch in movies today how people can hack into security cameras all around the country and it makes me wonder how secure they might be if anyone who know's how to hack well can find themselves looking at a camera watching the inside of a bank.  I do not feel that we have lost our privacy because the government really doesn't want anything more to do with you than Mr. Smith who lives down the street. The government doesn't bother themselves with people unless they suspect them to be a threat, and for the most part we don't have any idea what the government does to people who are threats, and we don't know when we find threats either. We just hear about the people who are hastled by the government when there is no reason to, and the people that are big new's to the public. I don't think we have to be worried about an event such as 1984 from happening to us simply because there are to many back doors to go to in our system today to prevent someone such as the President abusing power, especially on that level.
