"Our society is one not of spectacle, but of surveillance, under the surface of images, one invests bodies in depth..."

I agree with this quote, our society is not of spectacle, but we are under surveillance. Technology has given people the ability to find out where people are, what they may be doing, and some technology can pin point the exact place people may be. I know it particular cell phones if you have another person's number somehow it has the ability to show you where they are. On facebook as we all know, people offer information on themselves and tell their friends where they are or what they are doing and even how they feel. On XBOX360, you can find out what games your friends are playing, when the last time they were on, or even what movie they are watching. Everywhere we see this notion of surveilance. It has become more evident in our government today. I believe this example was given in class, but take 'The Patriot Act'. Government made it possible to use "surveillance" if they thought it was necessary. "Surveillance" has become more prominent in society. The more technology we have it seems we have more surveillance in our society.
