How is Telescreen affecting our world?

How telescreen is affecting our world is that, we are being watch. We are being watch by the telescreen because its wanted us to prevent thought crime which run by the party's. If the proles does any crime of thought, they will be immediately torture, like "2+2=5" in 1984 with the problem that happen to Winston. The partys control the proles minds though telescreen by manipulation theirs minds. Making the proles think from positive to negative.
In 1984, not only telescreen was watching us, Big Brother was watching us also. Big Brother had the power to control us through the Party's. Everything we do, we believed in Big Brother and fear that consequences was heading to our way.

What is Telescreen?


Telescreen is a television that watches your every movement. Not only that it watches you, it tells news that's occurring. It never turns off but you can can lower the volume.


In 1984, telescreen was used to watch the people and Winston's action. Not only was it place in their homes, but in the streets, stores, public, and private places. The reason why telescreen is at every scene is because it's to prevent *thoughtscrime.
Now in our days, telescreen are security cameras in business buildings, public streets (operated by the police officers), to prevent crime from happening.
Telescreen in 1984 is like our T.V in our world. In 1984, the proles were not able to turn it off. For us, television programs are showing 24/7 and we hardly turns it off due to entertainment.
