Is privacy still plausible or just another academic concept? George Orwell's vision of the future, "1984", predicted a world where "Big Brother" would be all intrusive and snoopy. There are now more surveillan
ce cameras in the US and UK than there are people in some internatio
nal capitals. Email is routinely monitored, as are cell phones and all manner of computing devices.
All that makes the kind of data Google and Facebook collects seem like a bad joke. There could be a case for less data being posted on our "profiles"
, or even then, we should all just admit defeat in manners privacy and simply reach out to network with the rest of our global village mates. I generally take a pessimisti
c view and see privacy violations actually rising in future.
