Ok, maybe not the scariest thing in the ENTIRE world, but I’ll admit this, when reading my colleague Elizabeth’s post about this new fangled “Mobile-Spy” program that actually lets employers, or whomever monitor, in REAL time, the goings-on on my cell phone, I instantly became terrified.

It has long been my belief that as of right now, we are TOO tapped into this world, too accessible, too monitor-able, and too spy-able.  Now our cell phones might not be safe?!  Yikes.  With new technology comes new questions of morality, ethics, and what should or should not be allowed and accepted as commonplace.   Tech like wireless internet, shrinking size of products, and our favorite, Bluetooth, are all amazing and bring with it a freedom not ever before enjoyed.  Along with it, however, comes this new question as to what should be allowed as far as keeping tabs.

I want to hear your thoughts about all this, so please, sound off on this one.  What do YOU think of “big brother?”  What do you think of the influx of security cameras, hidden microphones, software designed to log every keystroke, every email, and now, cell phone programs that can read your text messages and hear your calls AS YOU MAKE THEM?  They scare me, a lot, how do you feel?
