Bentham's Panopticon

The unease of surveillance has tormented our world since the dawn of time. As a community we have given our predecessors full permission to view and document our every move. Surveillance has completely changed all though the decades from the Roman Empire using surveillance as a form of defence to Bentham’s trying to create it for the good of society. Bentham’s Panopticon was one of the least manipulating forms of surveillance I have discussed as I believe his design was there to benefit the public rather than manipulate them , the only members of society he was manipulating was prisoners who in most cases deserved this. Orwell warned us on his death bed of the ongoing fear of society being spied on and we ignored his warnings.
