How Today’s Systems Allow Individuals To Discover More

We live in pretty interesting times .The people’s views have changed quite dramatically.What was a big “no-no” only decades ago is today’s “sure ,why not”The phrase: “Only in America” comes to mind. Medicinal drugs (marijuana) are now legal in certain states and so is the homosexual union. Some rules are not permitted on the federal level, but state citizens still choose to pursue these practices.

Technology has a big part in this evolution also. Things like the internet and extremely large databases have contributed in a very positive way to the improvement of our everyday lives.Formerly we were forced to sift through tons of paper to find a record.Now it is done with a click of a button. Things like medical records, bills and other important documents are stored digitally , which prevents data loss due to fires.

Unfortunately there is another side to this coin.These depositories of information might be hacked from distance.It makes our personal information vulnerable to rogue attacks.No matter how secure the system is there will always be a smart hacker.It’s scary, but it doesn’t mean we should revert back to stone age. There are many examples of how technology can help regular people access large databases. Let’s take ip-yahoo.com/contact.html as an example.

You can run a reverse phone look up on a number to find out who the owner is.This is convenient on many different levels. If one received a phone call from a toll free number he or she can use a reverse look up to discover the company’s name.

But even this seemingly innocent tool is a potential weapon.A sexual predator also knows how to use reverse look ups. A careless person might give out his or her phone number in the club and become a victim.This might force us to sacrifice our conveniences for the sake of safety. We have to remain vigilant at all times, when it comes to disclosing our personal information to strangers.

Every single individual should be able to express his opinion. We as people should be the ones dictating what can and cannot be disclosed Our expressions of freedom are like small grains which are easy to lose but hard to get back.Our children might one day find themselves in a complete privacy nightmare. If ever that level of privacy violation is reached it would be extremely hard to change anything.I see only one possible solution which can help us avoid this nightmare. I believe that privacy matters should be voted on by every citizen.
