Question The Time of Information (?)

Well I am thinking on such things as cameraphones, digitalcameras and -videos, homepages where you have your pictures and such. What do you think? Have we gone overboard with it? Do we even have privacy now a days?

My friends ALWAYS have a digitalcamera with him to our parties, and yes it is so much fun, but sometimes it is personal stuff. And well he, along with some others, post everything pics, videos and so on on their homepage. You cannot pass. I am one of their very good friends so there is always a lot of pictures of me, and when you are drunk or tipsy you don't really think, "Well, someone will see me tommorow like this". Last party we had I had the BEST time with this guy, we had so much fun, but because he is a VERY close friend of them they, when they noticed, took pictures of us kissing, I DIDN'T know - untill next day on the frontpage of the homepage is this great picture of us with hearts and us kissing. YES, I think it is fun, and I can tell them if I think they went overboard. But think about it?!

How are you views on this? On this generel matter. Experience the same? Bring on your thoughts..

I really don't care about such things as that. I never do things that I know I'm going to regret, even when I'm drunk I have a good sense of what I should and shouldn't do. I've never been an extremly private person anyways, and if someone looks at pics of me I really don't care.

Where I draw the line at is those creeps who when a girl passes out or something takes pics of her naked and sells them to web sites.

Hmmm...where to start...where to start...

Firstly, the thread title is misleading as this isn't really concerning any time period of (importance of? lack of? abundance of? I can't tell because this part was omitted) information. It probably should have been named something along the lines of "lack of privacy" or "age of nonprivacy" or anything like that.

Now then, I cannot speak for others, but I have not gone overboard with cameraphones, digital cameras, or homepages. Have you gone overboard with these? Have your friends gone overboard with these? Please realize that not everybody goes out handing pictures of themselves out to each and every passing Internet visitor.

Do we have privacy? It all depends on how you define privacy but the short answer is that we lost privacy long before the Internet was common. Also, "we" is highly ambiguous. Do you mean you and your close group of friends or do you mean all Americans or do you mean all of people from some other country or do you mean all people your age or do you mean all people who use the Internet or do you mean something completely different? Since the government can essentially monitor you however they wish (at least in America), that voids absolute privacy right there. From there, all that remains is relative privacy. This all depends on how much you wish to remain private, which differs from person to person. Certainly placing pictures of your ondoings online for any visitors of your webpage to see will place you at higher risk for people to know what you were doing but any action taken in a public place can be discovered by others, proportional to how many people were there and their blabbermouth tendencies.
