I agree surveillance was always around. Technology advancements have made it more portable(covert), cheaper(you and I can criss cross our homes wireless for a pittance) and therefore it appears to have infiltrated all our aspects of life. Visual surveillance...imo...is not an issue. I don't agree with the hysteria of microchipped humans and Gov cameras in our private dwellings. As a means to track untrustworthy criminals(serial offenders)...they gave up their rights when they chose their path and their restricted freedom out weighs the freedom of the mass.
As for data surveillance...that's where my concerns lay.
