Nowhere to hide

Don't you feel, that you are watched everywhere? Cameras follow us in cafes, supermarkets, transport, even at school! So it's pretty easy to feel uncomfortable even in the most privat places like church, when you see little camera eye right on you.
Such close attention to us from our government (even in case of our protection) doesn’t help to feel on the safe side. As for me such sings as cameras, microchips and all that espionage stuff are providing us to have more and more secrets, to feel followed everywhere with no place to have private life, that nobody knows about. In part of occasions big amounts of cameras make people going crazy, they start thinking about what they are talking about, what they are looking  like and what they are doing. This paranoia contains deleting web-site history, call-story and even switching off phone and devices during serious talks.
So let’s think about is it benefit or harm to us? First of all, this stuff helps us to avoid too big amounts of crimes and to prove your innocence in case of charge. That is useful, that is helping us to live peaceful, than it could be. From the other hand there are too much means of following us everywhere, even when it is not needed (toilets, churches, post offices, hospitals), it makes us feel like real offenders and become incredulous to public places.
That is why I am absolutely sure, that we must find compromise, which will be suitable for both sides, because our safety is as important as our privacy.
