Document Summary

It creates valuable commodities - data and content: for the most part, everyday users of the internet are not compensated for this work. Surveillance and productivity: power doesn"t only say no! Power is productive: power doesn"t just tell us what to do, surveillance doesn"t just control us but it shapes us, what we think about our actions. Morals reformed health preserved-industry invigorated-instruction diffused - jeremy. Bentham, preface to panopticon, 1791: what we need to do is to put everyone under surveillance but with two elements, people couldn"t know when they are under surveillance, they just have to believe they could be under surveillance. There is a probability they could be being watched. Panopticism and disciplinary training: people will internalize the gaze and monitor their own activity once surveillance is made to seem omnipresent, people can be disciplined through regimentation, testing and constant monitoring.
