Are you listening?

So some dude who used to work for the NSA leaked a "secret" -- Obama's listening. Now that I've mentioned NSA & Obama, I'm sure this is being read and monitored, too. So be it. I believe in my American freedoms. I believe that I can say what I want when I want. I'm not hurting anyone, nor do I plan to. I only hurt flies --- those things are annoying and I can usually kill quickly. I should be a fly sniper. That's another story. 
Anyway, Big Brother is no longer watching, he's listening, too. The Information Age brings about freedom of information to society, but also brings information to the government with ease. It is easy for anyone at any time to find out what someone else is doing if they leave an Internet footprint. Honestly, as long as you're carrying an operable cellular phone, you can be found anytime. 
Does this worry anyone? Should it? I can see the good and bad in it. I don't like that my innocent conversations can be listened to, but I believe it does lead to safety and security, so it's ok. Just don't come knocking on my door because I'm just an innocent bystander.
