Privacy

     With the surge of new media and the changes society is experiencing with the new ways of communication, privacy and confidentiality have become a great concern to Internet users. Every time we go online we leave behind our footprint and our information. From the information we share in social media to the footprint left behind online companies pay top dollars to have access to such information. Not only marketing companies should be our concerns, but also prospective employers, hackers, stalkers, and pedophiles. Whatever information we posted on the Internet is there forever.  We see in the news how hackers gain access to people’s private and confidential information; credit cards, medical records, bank accounts. For these reason we should be careful with the information we posted online and the transactions we make online everyday.
