I have a camera aimed at my stove so I can check if I accidentally left the stove on. It never happens but it does give me peace of mind whenever I leave the hoose and get paranoid.

Tangentially, I often wonder if technology has increased paranoia.

I can imagine someone worried about people following them might notice a lot more ear pieces, or if the increased knowledge of them has made that kind of fear decrease.

The presentation of schizophrenia is apparently different in less technologically advanced societies, so you might have a point. https://psychiatryonline.org/doi/full/10.1176/foc.6.2.foc184
