Cameras have been everywhere for quite some time. Every time you use self check out, at the grocery store or even the post office, a camera is watching you.

To add to that point, universities piling on as many classes as they can to maximize the financial returns from those students. Classes they don’t need or want. The “well rounded” education umbrella is the size of a very expensive parachute.
