Surveillance Technology - Hikari Shimizu

Society is protected by surveillance technology which is keeping us safe. I think these technologies are necessary to live our daily lives more comfortably. 

CCTV and facial recognition technology play an important role in solving a lot of crimes. These are also available as evidence, so people can find and identify criminals more easily and clearly. In addition, having some surveillance systems can make people realize that they are constantly being watched by someone, so it can help control crime and illegality. Police and companies are able to crack down more strictly on unpaid parking fees and traffic violations, such as speeding and ignoring traffic lights by using number plate recognition. 

However, if some technologies are used in the wrong way, that could be an invasion of privacy. If the system was hacked and personal information such as name, address, age and face were leaked to strangers, we end up putting ourselves at risk rather than protecting ourselves.

In conclusion, surveillance technology is useful and essential for us, but it also has drawbacks. Society have to use these technologies correctly.

    The feel that I watched by someone is uncomfortable but it's good for controlling crime. The benefits is more important than individual's feeling. So I agree that these technologies are necessary to live our daily lives more comfortably.

    I think the technology of surveillance is necessary for our life and I feel nervous when the CCTV cameras were erased. And then we should consider about the risks of that technologies.

Fishing makes me happy -LEIL

To be honest, I have almost never fishing in China.  After coming to Dunedin, I started to like fishing. Dunedin is near the sea and there are many suitable fishing spots nearby. I like to go fishing in Port Chalmers on weekends with my friends. I think fishing helps me to release stress, exercise my willpower, and we will have fish to eat.

Market Day Debrief - Nagisa Kanakubo

   Today's market was fun because there were a lot of shops. I saw accessory shops and clothes shops and tried a game, too.  It was the most interesting that many of the accessories were made by people. Both of the students and the sellers seemed to enjoy the market.  I felt this market was one of the interesting cultures for the students and the local people in New Zealand.

Surveillance Technology-Nagisa Kanakubo

  I think surveillance technology is necessary for our safety. However, it can be dangerous thing.  That technology is very useful to prevent crime and keep cities safe. In fact, there are so many CCTV cameras all over my country. And I have never been involved in crime. That tells us thanks to them, we can live more peacefully. However, some of them make me uncomfortable. For example, when I realize that someone is watching my movement, shopping habits and myself, I feel scared even if I don’t have nothing to hide. In other words, I worry that someone can identify me if my personal information is leaked.  In short, surveillance technology is important, but I feel that our privacy may be invaded.
