the ultimate Internet spying technique-- cameras in software

With the recent news of NSA wiretapping the computers of USA citizens,
I was wondering about the ultimate in wiretapping of the Internet and
computers and email. I would think the ultimate is that of a computer
software program that comes up on line and where the owner of a
computer is viewing the screen whilst the software has a camera movie
that can surveillance the reader and the background of where the reader
is at.

I would think this technology is not far off from being reality, for we
already have video teleconferencing.

So someday in the future, spys can just easily focus on a computer
where they would like to see who is using the computer and the
environment background of the computer, all the while the user is
unaware that he is being watched.

Such a technology would make all computers around the world as like
those video cameras they have in parking lots, streets or stores prone
to robbery. Such a technology would make spying a whole lot more
simple.

Perhaps this technology already exists but I doubt it has been
installed for the software is not a reality. But I suspect in the next
20 years this will be the fiery issue of civil liberties.

Funny, how just today I read an ad by Apple saying that their new
computer with the new Intel chip has i-camera, where computers can
teleconference one another.

So I was thinking that watching people on their computers and their
niches is 20 years off, well, I am wrong, it seems to be here now.

So if you are worried about needless spying on private citizens, just
wait until the news breaks the big government can watch every person on
there computers using the computer as a camera.

No, Plato, you're being paranoid. But what IS being done is that just
before J. Edgar "Make like a Hoover on my Wing-Wang" died in his frilly
dress he had a system perfected whereby his agents can listen to anyone
through their phone, even if it's hung-up. So lead a clean life. And
watch what ewe say.
