After realizing how much our privacy is at stake, I would like to see our digital future trying to fix our privacy rights while still advancing. Online users mostly do not pay attention to how their privacy rights are manipulated and this may hurt them down the line. Whether it’s with job opportunities or simply just having pictures out in the open that were intended for private Instagram use. Though I feel that privacy rights are tainted, there still are positive aspects to digital media. I do believe that digital media helps online users communicate with one another. For example, families in other states or different parts of the world are able to keep up contact with each other. I am hoping that in our digital future that more parts of the world will also have online access to keep in touch with loved ones.
Digital media has also helped our economy and this plans to only advance in the upcoming years. Another positive aspect is bettering our own personal healthcare. Being able to openly communicate on social media such as Facebook allows us to share positive posts and is a good influence on bettering one another. This article here elaborates on this concept. Maybe we can have an online healthcare system or community in the upcoming digital world to keep positively helping people in need and sharing advice.
Do you think that digital media can/will impact the healthcare industry?
Do you think our privacy can be fixed? Or is it too far gone?
I do think that digital media can impact the healthcare industry, we have seen it done with Obamacare. It is an online platform that you can browse for affordable healthcare options. I believe privacy can be fixed through the help of the government, if they don’t step in we will continue to be exploited.
Privacy is definitely at stake and always something that can be worked on. I agree people do not take the time to read the privacy policies and put to much trust into the companies. Of course, not reading the privacy policy is our own fault but it is up to the company to make that privacy policy easy to read and understand. To answer your question I do believe privacy can be fixed because at the end of the day it has no choice. Privacy is always going to come up in discussion and if the people do not like how it is portrayed then they are going to demand for a better change.
