Privacy

I feel like one of the biggest risks when it comes to new media is someones privacy. We are asked to put in our personal information such as our name address and birthday almost overtime you are asked to sign up to something. Even on Facebook there is a way for them to find out if the name that you are using is real or not. Besides inputting information ourselves, so many people put so much of their business out there. And although there are privacy settings in place for a lot of things there are still ways that people can get around that. There are even sites such as spokeo where people are able to look you up and can pay to get all of your private information such as phone number and address. Its very scary how quickly someone can just tap into your life. But I do feel like more security measures are being taken, for example they are now changing debit and credit cards to now have security chips because it is so easy to get the information off of cards and steal peoples information. Hopefully issues of privacy diminish as time passes.
