#HappyTracksgiving

The Christmas holidays are close and a lot of people are planning to travel to see the family, get away from the job or they get advantage to know new places. Any way you can know where they are in any moment and what are they doing.

If you travel by plane, airports are some of the places with more monitoring devices in their public spaces. And before, you have been registered in a digital computer to get your ticket.

If you are thinking on takin the train and you don’t want to be followed you should to don’t pay with credit cards because are easy to follow. In any case the train stations are full of cameras as airports.

Ok, you can drive your own car. It’s a good option to be more discreet but there is a web of surveillance, too.  And it’s known how many cars are in the roads, their register… And if you stop in a service area the cameras would know it, too.

Is seems that there isn’t a way to scape of the looking of the security and control. Maybe you if you go walking…? No. Why?  Because we all still having a mobile phone in our pockets receiving and sending signals with cell towers. Even the oldest mobile phone does this activity. Further, we probably have activated the location servers for our mobiles or Google Maps who can keep you from getting lost. Then our situation is receiving somewhere all the time.

Yes, I know. Our movements are under control all the time. But wait because there is still more. Lately have been developed the famous drones. They are not-crew little fly who can recorder all from the air.

These are just the techniques that we know about. No doubt there are others in operation and still others in development.

So if you are going to travel somewhere don’t forget to smile to the cameras all time.

Not more time ago I was see this hastag in twitter: #HappyTracksgiving. I didn’t know what it was about.  But now I already find a new in one newspaper so it’s why I decided to comment a little.

This new talks about the vigilance that we are subject without knowing anything. It’s incredible. In any time someone can use all this information about us. All we have done, where we were, with who and why can know.

It’s true that sometimes all this new technologies can help us for a lot of things. For example if we are lost in somewhere we can look up our mobiles phones. Or if there is a crime, thanks to the cameras, police could know what have happened.

Is supposed that all that is for our security but maybe sometimes it goes too far and we could choose between our “super-safety” or our privacy.
