Big Brother

A few years ago, I came across a system and network monitoring software named "Big Brother". Recently, I found that the origin of this term was from the fiction"1984" written by George Orwell. In the fiction, the character "Big Brother" was a leader who kept everybody under his complete surveillance. There was also a famous slogan "Big Brother is watching you" in the fiction.
After knowing this, when I visited the website of "Big Brother" software, I noticed a similar slogan "Relax. Big Brother is Watching." The developer of this software did have a strong sense of humuor!
