should read ". . .find important about privacy and why is there fear surrounding the proliferation and transparency of networked technology?"
my main question is, how does privacy function in our lifes right now. i think it affords us the ability to have multiple interfaces with reality, or multiple personalities without having to alert the different spheres we interface with about the presence of other groups or different sides of ourselves. it's also where we do unsocial acts like rub dead skin off after showering. it's also where we do erotic things.
i love our society right now because we are such multitalented, multifacited beings who smoothly transition between gatdets like computers which allow access to the internet, and human interactions which feel ageless, like we could be living in 1856 or 1433 AD (like a dinner party, or sex, or going on walks and the library) basically humans have a huge network of information and interaction and communities avaiable that the "surf" now, it's is just suspended between digital and physical. whereas soon it will slip more to the digital medium. which will change us as humans i suppose.
i'm sorry my writing is so loose. i am sure my terms are hardly sensical and my sentances ambiguous. i'm sorry!
