Here is a good example that shows how technology and innovation can reduce our freedom.

Indeed, while technology offers to people new ways of communication and make our life easier, it also reduce our personal privacy because all our technological products could be under surveillance..

CIA/NSA

 

What the heck.  Apparently the CIA has full access to our phones, history, apple accounts, call/message logs, etc.  This was probably in the terms and agreements no one read.  

 

As creepy as this is, I think its a good thing,  The CIA having access to phones has the potential to deter, if not prevent terrorism.
