As a kid, I loved the endless fun a simple remote control car would provide….I still do but cars are old-school compared to the aerial toys kids get to pick from today. From Toys R Us to Amazon, the general public has an infinite drone choice but what seems like an advancement in toys could actually be a coming civil liberties fight.
When you talk to people about online privacy – most of the time, they fall into three different camps: 1) the “I don’t really care – I have nothing to hide” – 2) the “Oh really, I didn’t know” – 3) and the “I know, I use a vpn, proxy servers and privacy mode on Firefox.” My main concern is the people that fall into the 2nd group because, like most anything, if you don’t know….you usually don’t care.
Online Privacy: The term is very broad and includes issues concerning your private personal information, browser history, surfing habits, purchases, digital footprint and much much more. Now, if someone was to ask you for your personal information (full name, age,sex,address,etc) in real life (in person), you might not be so inclined to just hand it over – but what if it’s being taken online, without your direct knowledge? Would this bother you?
Information technology has become a ubiquitous presence. By visualizing the processes that underlie our interactions with this technology we can trace what happens to the information we feed into the network.

Facebook has released its new “TimeLine” feature to the world! Timeline is a new way of displaying your information and a new way for people to get to know you – more image based. Structured chronologically and somewhat organized by you, Timeline lets people see your whole Facebook life – from start to finish. Keep in mind, that with all things Facebook, privacy is a main concern – so make sure you understand what your signing up for. Also, take advantage of the 7 day trial period and really look over the info that will eventually go public. Want to activate your “Timeline” – click here.
