Blog 6

"Big Brother" in the novel is the totalitarian dictator.  I really don't have much to say in this blog because I had never heard of "Big Brother" before reading this book.  The only thing that I can really think of as far as 'losing our privacy' is Google Earth.  I think it's creepy that they can take all of those pictures of the entire earth at any given time.  Other than that, I am apparently unaware of a lot of other instances of our own loss of privacy because I really can't think of anything.  I don't know of any examples of where we have given up our basic freedoms to feel 'safe', as stated in the blog prompt on the class blog.
