Look up and say "CHEESE!"


                                           
Seems like the word “PRIVACY” could be only found in dictionaries now on. Well majority of us already post our private life on FACEBOOK which essentially even includes me.
   Now pushing back all comes a new threat to privacy. Google and Apple are in a competition to come up with most detailed Ariel maps using spy cameras. In short it states that the world now can see what you are doing in your backyard!
Google says that it has already sent out planes carrying spy cameras, whereas on the other hand Apple has taken over a firm that uses spy-in the-sky technology which has already been tested in about 20 locations including London. As far as I have researched on this topic I came to know that Apple cameras have excelled with their potential to look into our homes through skylight and windows.
“You won’t be able to sunbathe in your garden without worrying about an Apple or Google plane buzzing over our head taking pictures.” Warns Nick Pickles, director of Big Brother Watch.
Apple states that when users ‘zoom-in’ details tend to be lost in the current 3D mapping technology due to the poor image quality.
Whereas Google targets to acquire 3D coverage of towns and cities with a combined population of 300 million by the end of the year.
The only plus point I see in this is the way it can guide in tracing terrorists and help military to target their missile strikes with much better clarity and focus.
But according to the recent Daily Mail reports this technology is very much same to as to what is being used by the intelligence agencies to trace down terrorists in Afghanistan.
So then why to have a spy camera 1600 ft roaming above our heads taking our snaps that too without our knowledge?
And even if the organization puts on rules and barriers -  who isn’t capable of breaking the rule in today’s world? And who won’t let down the barriers for lucrative purposes??
