Surveillance Technology-Yuki Takeyama

    Our daily lives are being watched unknowingly. In the city, you can find some surveillance technology. First, CCTV camera helps crime prevention. I think this camera protects our life. If you met pickpocket in the station, the cops can check the camera to be able to catch the pick pocket. Second, facial recognition technology. In my opinion, it is little bit scare but it can be useful. In Japan, recently, unmanned convenience store has been started. Unmanned convenience store use facial recognition technology to automatically make payments using a pre-registered payment method. I think it is very useful and good for understaffed job. In conclusion, we're being watched by cameras more than we think, and information is connected to a lot of things.

    I agree that stores using facial recognition technology are very convenient. It isn't only convenient, but also it solves a lack of employee. Sometimes we feel scared to these technology, but they are too useful to avoid.

    I think it is a good example to explain the benefit by using that technology. This example tells us the possibilities of using the surveillance technology anywhere.

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.

   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.
