Privacy, Exposed

There's a fascinating article by Emily Nussbaum in NY Mag about how the internet has changed our notions of privacy. It's not exactly news that kids today are comfortable with levels of exposure that would have been incomprehensible to past generations. But the article goes beyond that with a thoughtful analysis of how, why and when this shift occured.

Also intriguing: the point that perhaps this new generation is the one with a realistic idea about privacy--essentially, in an era of surveillance cameras and computer tracking of your grocery-buying habits everytime you swipe a club card, there is no such thing as true privacy anymore.


Personally, we've had a slow journey to accepting the exposure that comes with something like blogging. In fact, even though we've been blogging for nearly two years, it's only in recent months that we decided to allow our content to be listed on Google. If you're reading this because you found us through a search engine it proves we did the right thing!
