The title of this blog is a reference to 1984 by the futuristic writer George Orwell. 1984 is a projection into the future, what is now the past, where somebody or something “big brother” is always watching, a little like how the internet is always keeping track of what we do as we use it.
The internet has become such a big part of our life and a necessity to many we have forgotten the dangers of using it and how much information we put out there and how easy it is to track it. The internet keeps track of all of our posts, every website we go to, and the things we say making them accessible to anyone who is willing to look hard enough.
This blog really intrigues me to want to keep following it. Not so much because of the book that you are showing but because of the background. Everything makes me think and want to take a serious interest in the concern at hand ("big brother" and all of the strings attached to it)
