For my project, I decided to look the future of privacy. Privacy to me is a huge issue nowadays, from large threats like terrorism and other countries with nuclear weapons, to personal privacy, I believe that without something being done, those people that live in the future, will lose what little privacy we have left.
We see issues everyday were people can just get on google and find your house address, your phone number, your job, your photo and almost anything else. Social media and other technology make this invasion of privacy alot easier for predators. Working at the mall, I see issues almost daily of people sitting in the food court and waiting to customers to make transactions in order to scan their cards from a distance. Last, we hear on the news frequently of many other countries intercepting plans, spying on each other, and many threats. With the invasions of privacy, people are losing their safety, which is a huge issue.
Great topic. The network is feeding information about us not only to thieves, but to institutions of power that may or may not have our best interest in mind. I can't get my Kroger discounts, for example, with allowing Kroger to continually add to - and potentially sell - my purchase history. What are your thoughts about Louisville's own boost in surveillance cameras? This is a very rich topic.
