I Spy

Ever watch Dejavu, and get that feeling that people are constantly watching you or that eerie feeling that someone's watching you when you're in the dark? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0453467/ From public surveillance, to reality TV, to even internet google searches, do our lives really seem or feel that private anymore? Take reality TV for instance, survivor was one of the first reality tv shows I ever watched. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_(TV_series) I enjoyed it for the first two seasons until every show on TV turned into reality TV. Were people really giving up the privacy of their lives to have a camera crew follow them around and make a name for themselves? Not much of a name to be creating when you're on the Real World making an ass of yourself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Real_World It's crazy to think what you can find on the internet. Most people don't realize the incriminating pictures of their college social life can potentially bite them in the butt when trying to find a job. Ya it's cool to put your college videos of you beer bonging and puking on your girlfriend, but what happens when employers are spying on your facebook and myspace profiles? Food for thought.
