51. Surveillance and Capture, Agre, 1994.

• Especially in our world today, issues of surveillance are heavily discussed.  The concept of TOTAL surveillance has always seemed somewhat unrealistic and science-fiction-esque
• In the panopticon (Jeremy Bentham) prisoners are watched from a tower and aware that they are perpetually watched and act accordingly.
• Agre thinking about the questions that surveillance brings forth (issues of privacy) and theorizes the capture model, which is "drawn from an awareness of the current methods of computer systems design."
• The capture model is integrated in every part of our lives through various masked objects (the web, ID cards, tracking devices, etc).  The computer knows, but you don't
• 1997 - collection edited by Agre and Rotenberg discusses where privacy is moving toward in the Web 2.0 world
