There is clearly no research here. The articles you reviewed for the pathfinder have nothing to do with this paper. This paper sounds like a few of thing you know about video and computers, thrown onto paper as quickly as possible. You talk about the use of digital video and surveillance but the assignment was to explore how this technology is changing society and you never get there.

Digital Surveillance is one of the most quickly growing industries and

for a good reason. It is shaping American culture as right now. Families are

using Digital Surveillance to keep track in what is going on around their

house at all times. They are able to save all data to their computer. Police are

using Digital Surveillance to capture criminals. Digital Surveillance seems

like a big fabric of our society holding today’s American together.

Now Digital Surveillance is valued in the market at 3 Billion dollars.

It is because of the technological advances in the past few years. It has made

Digital Surveillance more accessible to average American. That is true

mostly because it has become a lot cheaper now then in the past years. Also

before, the files used to be really big. The files were so big that you can

barely keep any videos on your computer. When you compressed the files,

make the files smaller, the video would lose quality but not anymore.


One of the reasons Digital Surveillance is becoming so popular now is

because of the software for it. Now you can compress your Digital

Surveillance files and not lose any quality. That means you can have more

videos on your computer with amazing quality. This is great news for the

Digital Surveillance companies because more people will buy their products

for that reason. Also, since the technology has grown so much in the past

few years, it means in the next few years, Digital Surveillance products will

only get more powerful and easier to use not to mention become cheaper.


Another reason Digital Surveillance is becoming so important to

American culture is that people have found more uses for it. Before, Digital

Surveillance just had hours of video where nothing went on. Now they have

motion detection where they can capture video of important things when

someone does something in the camera. Features like that are going to lure

people into using Digital Surveillance.


The main reason Digital Surveillance is disturbing American culture

is that it takes away people’s privacy. With people being video taped at all

times anyone can take a video of someone then put it on the internet. With

the rise of Youtube, if get caught doing something with Digital Surveillance,

millions of people can see it the next day.


Using Digital Surveillance to put video on the internet isn’t all bad.

The police can solve crimes using some of the videos. If they have a crime

committed and put it on Youtube, the police can identify everyone who is

involved and make arrests. They can also use those videos to help convict

people of many crimes and not only to make arrests.


After all the information, you can see why Digital Surveillance is a 3

billion dollar industry now. With Digital Surveillance being able to solve

crimes and help convict people. Also with it being better than regular

Surveillance because your able to store videos on your computer. Since

Digital Surveillance is on the rise too, you can really see that Digital

Surveillance will have a real affect on American culture for years to come.
