In the world today , there are millions of surveillance cameras , or ‘spy cams’, watching

and

monitoring

our

daily

activities .

There

are

some

benefits

of

course

,

as

people

who

are

breaking

laws

can

be

watched

and

caught

using

cameras

and

this

helps

keep

out

society

and

public places safe .

These

cameras

are

everywhere

and

most

are

openly

visible

on

roads

,

in

airports

,

businesses , shopping centers and government buildings and even in lifts . Even schools have

started using spy cams to watch student activity and behaviour .

The cameras are so common now that we hardly ever even notice them . But the problem

lies with the ones that are hidden away from our eyes and are unseen . Technology has helped

develop tiny cameras that can be very well hidd

en and they can ‘spy’ on shoppers , workers ,

babysitters and people in hotels and clubs without the people even knowing .

It is these spy cams that people feel are an invasion of privacy . Recently , in the U.S .,

there have been a number of court cases against babysitters whose actions have been recorded by

their employers on hidden cameras .

The number of cameras in public and private areas is on the increase and with rising crime

rates

and

the

recent

terrorist

attacks

,

more

and

more

surveillance

cameras

are

being

used

to

watch

us .

This

means

that

we

all

have

to

be

aware

that

our

employers

,

department

stores

,

the last hundred years .

pipefish he caught while on his journey around the world . There are also lots of other specimens

caught by famous explorers that lived over 150 years ago , which include a tusk
