Week Seven

I take it for granted nothing is private on the Internet. If you want to keep a secret, then don't tell anyone. This week's reading "Analogue Literacies" by Jon Dron, has a quote from Mark  Zukerberg where he claims that privacy is dead (O'Brien, 2010). I agree, how can anything which is broadcasted via the web be private? The best practice I would recommend is to not write anything you're concerned will be repeated on the web, if you want some form of privacy then talk in person or on the phone (less so, but better). The more computers and technology are able to learn about us, the less concerned we should be about it.  Most of the information gathered about us is for selling goods and services on the web; humans will adapt.
