The internet is just part of life today. I can kind of remember to before this was the case. To me it seems this is radically altering society quite quickly. Is everyone noticing this? (I'm a few years older then some regular posters on here)
Specifically is the idea of privacy going out the window in our society? It seems like it to me. Not only because of the information you can find but it also seems to me like younger people today dont even care about privacy like older people do? They just lay all thier personal info out there for everyone. In addition to the net, reality TV is taking over and privacy is a foreign concept to that.
Of course the perfect example of this is our own favorite F.Muniz. The poor guy's life is laid out like a science experiment on a workbench that everyone can see every detail and disect it if they want to. What is interesting to me is he doesnt seem to care and makes cursory, if any, attempts to keep things private. Using nothing more then google and some common news and other internet sites I know everything about him from his schedule, to knowlege of his personal life, to where he eats breakfast, what his house looks like, what his street looks like, where he goes in public, even what shampoo he uses.
Ok, so he is a celebrity and therefore it is a bit of an extreme case but arent we heading this way for everyone in general? It is a bit spooky to me.
Perhaps it is not really an age thing because J.Berfield, for examlpe, seems to be much the opposite?
