How do these issues affect you? Your friends and family?
Privacy seems to be a policy long forgotten. All of our activities can easily be monitored and recorded now, thanks to new innovations in technology. Facetime, Skype and our everyday phone calls are now unsafe from wiretaps and unauthorized watchers. Personally, I don’t use these methods of communication all that often, but I know a lot of people who do. I also know some people who definitely make important calls regarding medical or personal issues, and having that information leaked is a massive worry.
What should the government be doing about these issues?
When it comes to how our government can start solving this problem, I think that one or two laws concerning privacy need to be passed. As humans, we are insecure about many things, and we would like to keep some of that information to ourselves. Honestly, it may be better to look for someone else besides the government to fix this. Our issue isn’t the laws themselves , but the technology we wield. We need something stronger, something more secure and safe for people to carry around.
What can we do to protect ourselves from invasions of our privacy?
For once, we should try and put down the phones. If the person we call is somewhat nearby, why not drive or wait to talk to them? As technology evolves, the need for in person communication becomes less and less. For that reason alone, we should be enjoying the time we have left when it comes to talking with one another.
