What kind of world do you want to live in?

Imagine a world where someone is following your movements throughout the day, watching what you’re doing no matter how mundane. Feels uncomfortable, right? Now imagine that happening 24/7, offline and online.

Thankfully, we’re not there yet, but a short film caught our attention for how it explores privacy. Produced by the open source production company, hitRECord, A Very Different World, shows what might change if our actions were endlessly tracked.

With October marking National Cyber Security Awareness Month, now is a good time to reflect on the difference between being watched over and being watched. Check out the film, and let us know what you think about the status of your personal privacy.
