             The article "Why people think they are living in a reality show" by Colin Lecher stated that people are being watched by each other every single day.So,It is like we are in the TV show like the film " Trueman show". The author Andrew morantz gave an example that the government had the right to spy on it's citizens and we could assume that we were being watched. what the author said is right because it is possible that someone is watching us from somewhere at anytime.
              First , We can imagine, we are being watched by someone like we are in the TV show. Nowaday, every supermarket has recording TV camera and when we go for shopping , we all are recorded in the camera.If there is someone suspicious in the store, someone who works there can watch that person from the camera.Next, some small stores have a TV camera installed next to the front counters and everyone can see all sections of the store from the camera. For instance, when i go shopping with my friends to those kinds of store, we have different things to buy.she go get what she needs and i go get what i want. Sometimes, if i don't see my friend after i finished checking out, i watched the TV camera and i can see where my friend is in the store.So,It is like we are in the reality show because i can find my friend in the store by watching the camera and workers in the store can watch what customers are doing.
            Another thing is that In every day life, people are also watching each other's life from web. For example, facebook is also like a reality show. Everyday, people like to check other's people facebook profile because they are interested in knowing someone's else life. By checking facebook, people can know what their friends are doing.What's more ,there might be friends who you haven't seen them for a long time in person but if your friends use facebook ,you can watch your friends from the facebook what your friend are doing right now, where they live and also who is their lovers and their marriage since a lot of people update about themselves by uploading photos and posting comments.That's why, we can imagine that we are in the TV show in someway without a doubt.
            Today, All business places  installed tv cameras for their store safety,we will be in the camera where ever we go. Also, as a lot of people use facebook and post their photo and what they are doing, they will be on the screen like in the tv show when their friend check their facebook's profile. So, i could say that everyday,we are in the tv show.
