I'm completely opposed to that idea. I'm a pretty private person and the thought of being watched 24/7 just gives me the creeps. For what it's worth, this movie is generating some serious buzz and I'm excited to see it.

This sounds similar with the movie Minirity Report and an anime called Psychopass. Being under surveillance of every move is inhuman for me because you remove people of their privacy,free will and dignity.

Even for not being an active person, I'd be completely opposed. For the sake of privacy, but I'm also an introvert. Knowing someone was watching all the time would really stress me out :P

Person of Interest was an absolutely good show, one of the best. I love the story, characters, plot, themes, suspense, and what a fantastic ending. A very bittersweet one.

While Person of Interest was a riveting series as @David Milaham pointed out and the Machine was an integral part of the series, the underlying theme of being watched all the time can sometimes feel scary.
