How to use "Surveillance" in context?
When we talk about surveillance, we usually think of the government watching our every move. But there are a proliferation of other surveillance technologies out there, both legal and illegal, that can be used to watch us.
There are several different types of surveillance. One is thermal imaging, which uses infrared rays to see through walls. Another is acoustical surveillance, which uses sound waves to listen in on conversations. And finally, there's electromagnetic surveillance, which uses either electromagnetic radiation or intercepted wireless signals to watch people.
There are many different ways to use surveillance technology, and it's not just the government that uses it.
