Currently technology has advanced a lot. We have mobile phones, laptops, videogames or even virtual reality. 30 years ago, people only had very big mobiles that could only be used to call, so it's such a huge change.

Today most of these devices have cameras. You can find cameras in many places and with different purposes like in shops to deter thievers from stealing anything, on the roads to prevent cars from going faster than they can and in phones and laptops to take photos and videos or to talk with other people.

But most people don't know that they can be spied by other people using the cameras on the mobile phone or the laptop. They can see what you are doing at any time. This is a huge problem because they can take photos and videos of you and they can use them to make advertisements even if you don't want to.

I think this is a big problem and many people don't feel safe even at home. I think brands like, for example, Apple, need to improve safety of their devices. An advice to avoid this is to put Scotch tape on the camera of the mobile phone or laptop. In my case, I have tape on my laptop's camera but I don't have it on my phone because I'm taking photos all day and it's more comfortable not to have it.
