Dear Diary;

Today marks the start of the lame duck's Congress recently passed legislation. They called it the Protection Act of 2012. As of today, cameras are starting to be installed in every home everywhere, and all phones are tapped. They also claim they've invaded the world wide web with bugs to control not just the country, but the world's internet. How they're doing it we don't know, its been said that they've recenetly made breakthroughs that allow to perfectly spy on every citizen. Its scary how technology can rob us of our privacy like that. But the U.S. isnt alone .It's back by a UN order and multiple other associations around the world. In an effort to establish world piece and to protect the "Citizens of the World" from the "Worst of Humanity" the entire world has begun to pass similar legislation. The protection doesn't stop at communication - its physical, mental, and spiritual. We all have to follow and believe in the laws, if we show even the slightest hesitation we are branded criminals and sent to locations that the public yet doesn't know about. We're hearing that its mass execution camps, but news has become nonexistent since they silenced the internet. Even now as I write this, I do so with complete deference to the law, for I am a humble servant of the world. Those who protest are never heard from again, and its only just begun. Some say they are afraid, that its going to get worse as time goes on. We have no privacy, no freedom anymore. We have ceased to be individuals. Even the government is now controlled by a strict set of routines.

Dear Diary;

It's been a little over a week and already the PA is under full control. Many friends are no longer here, disappeared over night. The world is getting smaller, more and more laws are being passed aimed at "uniting the world" - Uniting for what, I wonder.

I'm done. I'm going to disappear tonight, Its not worth living like this, we aren't individuals anymore - maybe future generations will live like this, not I. I hear the footsteps outside my door now, my life comes to an end soon. This is how the end starts.

The idea was to make the technology invisible in the sense that it was simply what robbed the protag. of his privacy, of his life. The technology was invisible as it was meant to be but yet had a very profound effect on his life. The end of the world was simply taken to be the end of privacy.
