This kind of thing makes me a little bit angry and a little bit sad. And a lot cynical! I have the deep feeling that in many ways our lives aren't entirely our own anymore. I love technology and the things I can do with it. But at the same time I have a building sense of dread inside me. Maybe it comes from this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzryBRPwsog and/or this http://www.george-orwell.org/1984. |
I think this article is really interesting. I have been thinking a lot about the trail we leave in cyberspace as we do stuff online. Should we be able to dictate what appears online about ourselves? Or can that be seen as a form of censorship? Personally, I believe I should be able to say what is available online about me. Especially when it is to do with my private life! I guess it is a form of censorship but it would be me who is doing the censoring. I'm not sure how this will pan out in the coming years but I am certain it will become a big(ger) issue. What are your thoughts?
