Ms. Singer suggests that we are again witnessing the continual conflict between technology and privacy protections. Ms. Singer is wrong. Things have changed, drastically. Rather than have our privacy taken away from us by new technologies, we are now actively giving it away (albeit often due to the not-so-subtle coaxing of the new technology companies --like camera companies encouraging exhibitionism). We twitter or post our most banal experiences and thoughts, or provide websites with intimate financial details and genomic predispositions.
Perhaps we need to first reassess our shifting perceptions of privacy before we look to our slow moving legislatures and even slower to evolve laws.

ReplyDeleteVPN is short for Virtual Private Network and is a technology that creates an encrypted secure connection over a less secure network like the Internet. The benefit is that it provides the security that the network on which it is based cannot provide. It uses the internet to transport data. Many such networks can be created by using different systems incorporating encryption and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and information cannot be intercepted by the others. It is like a tunnel built to transmit data between a network of say an organization and a remote user. It hides your data and IP address. ways to make money online
