Now days, we all are familiar with the satellites wandering over our head and squeezing out information about our positions and locations. Of course it has made our life easier in most possible ways. But what will you say if these modern robots start spying on you?
Will you really appreciate the beauty of technology when you are under 24x7 surveillance?
Satellite companies say that they keep a everyone's data separate from any spying characteristics, but Peter Martinez of the Secure World Foundation told MIT Technology Review that it doesn't matter. Martinez said satellites don't need to identify faces to identify someone. If they can combine the images with data streams from sources like GPS, security cameras and social media posts, it's enough for them.
Obviously government has defined rules and regulations but the breaches are as normal as a normal issue in this digital era.
Ever wondered why satellite imagery is getting closer to a level that investors and businesses will want to exploit? Mapbox's Charlie Loyd told MIT Technology Review, the goal is to make a "living map" of Earth.
We hope in future we won't become a 'specimen' in this 'Huge Laboratory'.
