Again you can't hack a fire. You keep acting like every invention since the stone age is a computer program. I'm talking specifically about modern stuff that wasn't possible for most of human history invention in the past allowed people to spy on citizens like modern cameras and computer technology and satellites
And I can live my life on being wary of letting surveillance technology take over the world
You can't hack a fire, but you can use it for nefarious means. You can take anything and find a way to exploit it.
Just like modern technology, you have to weigh the pros and cons of the discovery/invention. I mean, the microphone was invented in 1876 and has been used ever since to spy on people. But it's most just been used to amplify someone's voice when in a large crowd.
Eventually you have to just have to live with technology and trust that it is being used to help more than harm. You'll drive yourself crazy otherwise.
