#Conclusion of chapter
The constitutions allow the right for free speech and public assemblies. But surveillant tactics from the state through police, data practices and media technologies affect the presence and the development of free political spheres in public spaces. There is a contradiction between the highly tech state and the low tech citizens in public. The oral communication becomes important for resistance and presence in the cities of today.

In conclusion the voice is a powerful tool of externalizing social struggles in public and depends on the presence of others. This face to face communication in public spaces is still valid today that the communication technology is spread in every part of our life. The high technology used by the states to control the bodies in public confronts the daily technology used by the users/citizens. In further discussion that will happen in my project I will explore and nake public the potentials of this electronic domain in relation to our presence in public spaces.
