Is Privacy Dead?
Filed under: 
Large companies begin to identify individuals using biometrics, fingerprint recognition systems being the most common methodology. This has become controversial, but need it truly be the biggest concern?
For example, other privacy issues include detailed log files which contain IP addresses, domain names and in academia — even names. Everything about a user is recorded along with recent activities. Privacy is continuously compromised more and more. Google can help identify many of us given our full name (NameBase can pin-point links and connections). It can then refer to people’s public thoughts and opinions about us. The availability of more information is unavoidable and the young generation has adapted to accept it.
