Privacy! Right or Wrong?

Privacy is a very interesting topic to talk about now a days. The one article that I liked was called "Privacy is Overrated" by David Plotz. Plotz wrote about how invasion of privacy can be a good thing but can also be bad. Some of the positives about invasion of privacy is that it saves people time in searching for what they need online, but negatives aspects would be identity theft. I was watching the news the other night and it said that Siri invades privacy of iPhone users and that it is bad but I mean if people buy that new iPhone with Siri, they should expect that they would not have any privacy. Every time someone uses Siri, Siri is sending information to Apple to correct faulty issues Siri might have. If people took their time to read the terms and conditions, maybe their privacy would not be invaded but most people just skip it all. I don't mind if Google or Apple is watching my every move, if I get the job done faster with good quality than I am all fore it.

  1. Funny because I just got the iphone 4s with Siri on Spring Break. I was asking about some of the privacy issues but the sales clerk at the Apple Store definitely rushed me through that part.
