Public Privacy

It has been brought to my attention recently that there are numerous experiments being done to develop a various assortment of modern technologies and software that will allow people to obtain a deeper look into anyone's personal information. Most of these concepts are based on an augmented reality that uses three dimensional visualizations that surround who you are looking at with written information about their personal interests or background. The thought of this technology being available to everyone is kind of scary, but what people don't realize is that the invasion of our privacy is gradually becoming inevitable anyway. With all of the information we provide about ourselves in social networking, and all of the status updates that are linked to our every move, we really have no idea how exposed we already are. We don't ever pay attention to what we reveal because at the time it seems harmless. But what we do in life and on the internet is constantly being watched by audiences that we have never even come in contact with. Even the webcams on our personal pc have the capability of being hacked into and allow others to see things we don't want them seeing. We might as well just except the fact that we will one day be completely exposed and nothing can be done about it
