Teleekraanid

Teleekraanid, often translated as "tele screens" or "tele-screens," are a fictional technology featured prominently in George Orwell's dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. These devices serve as both a television receiver and a surveillance camera, broadcasting propaganda from the ruling Party and simultaneously monitoring the actions and conversations of citizens.

The teleekraanid are omnipresent in the lives of Outer Party members and are installed in homes, workplaces, and public spaces. They cannot be switched off, ensuring that citizens are constantly exposed to Party messages and are under perpetual observation by the Thought Police. The Party uses the teleekraanid to enforce conformity, suppress dissent, and maintain its absolute control over society. The idea of the teleekraanid has become a powerful symbol of invasive surveillance and the erosion of privacy. It represents a future where technology is used not for convenience or connection, but for oppression and manipulation. The concept has influenced discussions and fears surrounding modern surveillance technologies and the potential for their misuse.
