Write an essay in which you consider how drones could serve as a tool of surveillance as well as “sousveillance,” and weigh the risks and benefits of these new
technological capabilities. Use specific details from Singer and van Houtryve’s essays for support, as well as your own observations and experiences. Further questions
you might consider include:
• To what extent do drones equalize the playing field of surveillance, and to what extent to they escalate it?
• How do van Houtryve’s photographs change how you view drone technology? Does his camera’s droned perspective broaden your vision of what this technology makes
possible, or sharpen your view of its available targets?
