Surveillance Technology - Emi Kawamori




   I think that the advantage and disadvantage of surveillance technology is the debatable problem.

In my opinion, the technology of the CCTV camera makes our life much safer. If there was no CCTV camera around the city, there might be a lot of crimes. For example, in the supermarket, it could be much easier to stole the stuffs. In case of on the street at night, the possibility of happened to meet suspicious person would be rise.

According to above, the technology of CCTV camera makes our life safer and thanks to it, we don't have to much scared of stranger.


Although there are any benefit to us, I sometimes feel little scared of the CCTV camera. When I use the lift, there are often CCTV cameras on the wall. It makes inside of the lift safe, but we cannot know who is watching us.  I feel scared of been seen by someone without my notice.

As conclusion, it makes our life safer, but the company which sets the cameras  should make it clear who is watching and how the information would be used.

    I completely agree with your opinion. I feel more comfortable if there is some information about who is watching and how to use the information.

    I agree with her opinion. Surveillance technology such as CCTV cameras has both good points and bad points. It is important to decide how to use that technology in the near future.

    I feel scared when I think someone is watching me, too. It is useful, but we don't have any merits as you said.

    Yes, that is the point.
    Surveillance technology can make both comfortable and uncomfortable society as you stated in your blog.
    And I thought that your conclusion is very nice since you have told the way to ensure transparency in using CCTV camera.

    We can't know who watches us though CCTV. I feel scared too. Companies should explain why it's needed and how they use the video.

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.
