Wireless pinhole camera
I have been into wireless surveillance cameras since I was little. I actually got my first wireless pinhole camera when I was 12. It was at the height of the Cold War, or at least long enough before the end that spy technology still seemed like the neatest thing out there. I was into it all. I built an alarm system with a breadboard kit. It would stop my sister from entering my room, or at least irritate her with a loud beep when she did. I set up a tin can telegraph with one of my friends, and we used it to communicate whenever we could. But the wireless pinhole camera was the best.
Part of the problem is that I have a bit of a voyeuristic streak in me. I think that it is more and more common nowadays. As wireless surveillance systems are put up everywhere, most of us want a piece of the action. On the one hand, we resent being spied upon by the government, as well as by banks and other private institutions. On the other hand, we want the power that they have. We want to be able to see everything that everyone does. We all want a wireless pinhole camera on every corner to record the actions of our neighbors. We want a God’s eye view into the secret lives that surround us.
