The Circle is a book turned movie that focuses on the uncertainty of technology and the amount of information it holds and knows about us. Imagine if all your social media was connected to each other and your life wasn’t as private as it was preCircle, because of the cameras surrounding you. Though they are meant to make things simpler, it’s voyeurism, which only leads to harm. The leading actress is played by Emma Watson and her name is Mae, a young woman who gets caught up in working at the Circle. In the movie, Mae’s father has an illness, that the company knows about and is seemingly supportive of Mae, they promote her to record herself basically 24/7. From this movie along with the books we have read this semester, I’ve realized technology is moving fast and the possibilities we have for it are endless. Information received from us, given our authorization (which we sometimes don’t know what we are signing for) can be used for good or bad. Surveillance and technology overall are beneficial when used in moderation. They help find criminals, helps find loved ones, or make connections, but when it is pushed into everyday life, it can be life damaging because privacy to most people is sacred.
