Do we really control our privacy on the web?
The “Medium is the Massage” opens too many questions about the beginning of new social medias through electronic devices and the World Wide Web. Something that struck me from Marshall McLuhan’s book was the way how he predicted that our privacy will be at risk due to the fact that ir will be too much information from us out there through these new electronic social medias. I agree with McLuhan when he states that “Electrical information devices for universal, tyrannical womb-totomb surveillance are causing very serious dilemma between our claim to privacy and the community’s need to know.” As we know, there are many social network sites out there, and I’m really concern of the level of information being shared about my personal life to advertising companies, governments, etc. Have you thought of the level of information in your footprint? I believe that we have a photo identification document on the web that we do not really know about it.
