These days, there are many movies in Hollywood where people experience films where the central figure is observed by the FBI via satellites. We can say that: "Oh, it is only a film! It is no more than fantasy!" But it is apparent that this is not so unjustified. Just take one of the satellite navigation equipments which are used by us everyday in our car. We just write down where we want to reach and this little tool navigates us to our destination. It knows exactly where you are. This is the reason why it can say to you: "Turn left after 10 meters!"

On the other hand there are the hidden cameras.
Hidden video cameras and other sensors watch us every day, mainly in the big cities.
The police, shopping centers and individuals watch us (public squares, public roads, highways, schools, universities, business quarters, office buildings, government quarters, hotels, museums, hospitals, post offices, shopping centers, banks, ATMs, airports, restaurants, buses, etc…). The cameras are on the pillars or on the top of a building. Some of them are zoom compatible or able to turn around 360°. And much of them can see in the darkness. The films are stored in databases. There are computer programs which can recognize the wanted person.
In Monaco people are 24h watched. In 1996, during the Atlanta Olympia, there were thousands hidden cameras with professional lenses. In so many American work places employees are supervised. And now this is the new practice in American elementary and high schools as well.
There are more and more people, who have complete safety system in the house. They have smoke and movement sensor, cameras etc…Company advertise that as: You can go anywhere peacefully because there is "somebody" who always take care! But there exist face detectors too.
