"Big Brother is a fictional character in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. He is the enigmatic dictator of Oceania, a totalitarian state wherein the ruling Party wields total power "for its own sake" over the inhabitants.
In the society that Orwell describes, every citizen is under constant surveillance by the authorities, mainly by telescreens. The people are constantly reminded of this by the phrase "Big Brother is watching you", the maxim ubiquitous on display. Howevever, in the nature of doublethink, this phrase is also meant to mean that Big Brother is a benevolent protector of all citizens"

Researchers Tracking Great White Sharks
"The starstruck researchers took blood samples, checked the shark for parasites, implanted an acoustic pinger in its gut, and even performed an ultrasound -- all within 15 minutes and without tranquilisers or anesthetics. The crown jewel of the operation, though, was a state-of-the-art satellite transmitter, drilled and bolted onto the shark's dorsal fin.
Exhausted and newly rigged with an arsenal of technology, the shark -- christened Mary Lee -- slid into the water and swam languidly out of sight."
Transmitters Electronic Tags Overview
The simplest version of the acoustic transmitter is the ‘pinger’. The ‘pinger’ produces ultrasonic pings that can be heard using a hydrophone (underwater microphone) and receiver. This was the original type of fish tracking tag.

Fish operate by SONAR! What are these devices that send out pings doing to these poor fish!
How are their systems handling these implants?
How far will man go in the quest for knowledge? How much will be destroyed for a tidbit of information?
What are the rewards?
Looking at the world as it is, does the common man seem to have benefited. Is the world as we would like it today?
Why are we so soothed by glimpses and memories of a simpler, cleaner, and more balanced world, where all being thrived in a sort of holistic dance? Yes we had lions and tigers and bears to fear..At least they could be seen, touched and known. Todays technology defies our senses and comes like thieves in the night.
