By having more of our lives online, will our daily lives become more visible to outsiders on the internet?

yes. our personal information are actually exposed unsecured on the Internet. People use twitter, facebook, or even blogs to share their photos, feelings, where they have gone, what they eat, what is happening, their relationship status, family and so on. so, of course our daily lives have become more visible to outsiders on the Internet. I see some of my friends set passwords or secure questions for their album. I feel that is the most stupit thing that I will never do. as long as you keep your privacy out of your mind, it’s unsecured. also, there are privacy settings, your information can still be seen. there are Internet monitors under the companies such as verizon. it is usually used to monitor illegal activities. however, who can assure that it will never approach your privacy. it can even monitor when, where and what you have downloaded. also, some government department can also reach your privacy. I don’t exactly how they do, but something like FBI or CIA maybe. people are like naked and exposed on the Internet.

How do we prevent outsiders from viewing and tracking even the smallest details of our lives?

there si always a risk to put our privacy on the Internet. i would say that we should keep something in mind instead of putting everything on the internet. also, pay attention to the virus. that may help.

I am from Shaghai, China. I would say that many people don’t really know about China. Some of my even said that “this can’t be China.” when I showed them the pictures of Shanghai. I want to talk about how technology has helped China to achieve such a great change.

The first example I want to talk about is the Maglev train(magnetically levitated train). The world’s first commercial application of a high-speed maglev line is the IOS (initial operating segment) demonstration line in Shanghai that transports people 30 km (18.6 miles) to the airport in just 7 minutes 20 seconds (top speed of 431 km/h or 268 mph, average speed 250 km/h or 150 mph). Other maglev applications worldwide are being investigated for feasibility. althogh there is only one in shanghai right now, but we can expect the high efficiency in the near future by buiding more.

moreover, in Hunan Province, a 30-floor building was built within only 15 days. it can resist a 9-magnitude  eartquake. technology brings safty and efficiency.
