Surveillance Technology - Himari Kosugi


    I think surveillance technology makes our lives more secure.  For instance, CCTV cameras, facial recognition technology, and number plate recognition will help the police catch the criminals.  These technology gives the police a lot of evidence.  Therefore, it is obvious that the police can find and arrest the criminals easier.  It means that crimes will solve and our society will be more secure.
    However, these surveillance technologies have some dangerous aspects.  For example, there is a possibility that our personal information may be leaked.  Many people, including me, don't know the system of these technologies well.  It means that we may surrender our information without know it.
    From above, I think that surveillance technology basically has a lot of benefits, but it also has dangerous aspects that must be considered.

    I am also one of them who don't know about technology. I feel scared if someone hack some system, our privacy information will be leaked.

    I agree with your opinion that we don't know the system of surveillance technology. We should know the system to protect our personal information.

    Agreed, and I think one of the areas we tend not to be aware of is how our online behaviour is monitored and used for the commercial benefit of the websites we visit and the applications we use. Some, though, might argue this is the cost we have to pay for using 'free' social networking sites and search engines. David :-)

    Many people don't know the system of these technologies well. Of course me too. I think It's important to think about surveillance technology. How these video are kept? Is it safe? How long they are stored? It should be made clear.

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.
