Product Description:
***"Using a cell phone is like talking in a room full of listeners." This bundle includes 2 following documentaries: ***(1) SPY TECHNOLOGY ~ From CIA secrets to the surveillance devices of today, this is an inside look at the agency. In the name of national security, the governments of the world have developed devices that could render privacy a quaint anachronism. But could this Orwellian nightmare ever really come to pass? SPY TECHNOLOGY traces the evolution of the tools of espionage over the past century, from drop boxes and rudimentary codes to the tiny, high-tech devices that are already far more prevalent than most people imagine. Get an up-close look at some of the most important spy equipment ever made, and hear James Bond stories of their use in the Cold War and afterwards. Find out why there is no technical reason why the lessons learned spying on other countries might soon be put into use internally. It is no longer a question of feasibility, but of ethics. ***(2) SURVEILLANCE TECH ~ Eavesdrop on conversations up to a mile away and try out advanced systems that see through walls. In the world of surveillance, Big Brother is not only watching, he's also listening, analyzing, recording, scanning, and tracking every aspect of our lives, and with advanced surveillance technology, there's virtually no place to hide. SURVEILLANCE TECH examines some of the most important and potentially terrifying equipment the world has ever seen - or rather, not seen - in this thriving surveillance revolution. Check out parabolic microphones that pick up conversations a mile a way, cameras that learn what and who to photograph, RadarVision that "sees through walls", and Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Explore the mind-bending future of surveillance technology, while, of course, reviewing its surprising history. (There are many titles in A&E DVD+R Library; it is recommended to check your DVD player for compatibility) (Total running time 1 hr 40 min)
