Digital Camera and Cell Phones; Are They Really Privacy Busters?

Many people believe that they deserve privacy and yet what is privacy; is anything truly private? After all we hear people talking in the coffee shops, in airports and in lines at the post office on their cell phone and although you can only hear one side of the conversation you can learn a lot of personal data about someone by listening in.

What is amazing is people really don't seem to care; they chat away as if no one is listening, yet they often raise the volume of their voice so everyone can hear and therefore everyone really is listening. Some people want people to hear what they are saying and then they start making the conversation elevated to impress the nearby listeners.

Yet despite all this that goes on people want their data secured at the government and the corporations they do business with. Identity theft is the number one complaint of consumers at the Federal Trade Commission and this is increasing. Identity theft has now passed the illegal drug sales on the criminal monetary scale.

But people are really not doing much about it and they still give away information to the public freely on their own. Of course it is their right to do so, yet at the same time they demand privacy protection from their government. Wouldn't you?

Even if you are careful with your data others find ways to capture your data or information or privacy without your knowledge, via camera cell phones for instance. I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.
