Prompt 3:Technology

http://www.technologyreview.com/article/425905/world-without-walls/

The article I read about technology talked about how people thought that technology would mess up privacy for people. Such as Facebook, if you're friends with someone on Facebook you can see everything they put on their account. The article also talked about the Fourth Amendment which states a legal right to privacy correspondence. It also said that there was a certain age you had to be to join a networking site, but people could easily lie about the year they were born. In 2006 a new information sharing site was made called "Fusion Center" it is a site made for the federal state and local government so they can pick up and share "fuse" knowledge with one another and the representatives of private companies and foreign governments.  I do believe in privacy, but in my opinion you should not put anything on the internet that you would not want others seeing. Also you can make your page to any social networking site private, so that any out side people are not able to view your things. But you still have to keep in mind anything you put on the internet is there forever. In the future, I see more and more people adding to the social networking sites, because some people don't think about privacy on the internet, they just make their accounts thinking that they will have privacy on it. Another reason is it's a good way to keep in touch with family that lives in different countries, and current/old friends.
