have much privacy

2. We use the internet every day – personal, business, kids

3. Tracked through our web-searches

4. Cell phones track location

7. We have the right to privacy – laws protect it

8. Companies trying to improve privacy terms

9. Privacy helps businesses make money and enhance user experience

SUMMARY

Privacy is dwindling in the world today. The fact of the matter is that we have no privacy. For example, there is tracking technology. A lot of time you can’t get hired because employers check what you do in your personal life online. Businesses also steal your information and sell it. These are some of the problems we have today.

In today’s cities, privacy is dwindling away. One example is that hackers can steal your records. Another example is that companies can sell your information to other companies and even the FBI. Anyone with the right tools and smarts can find your personal information, purchases, legal troubles, calls, and more. These are some examples of how our privacy is withering away.

How much privacy do you have online or on your handheld? The answer is "not as much as you think you have." As you read this article, for example, the fact that you have landed on this very post has been recorded. Your interest in the right to privacy has been logged and stored merely by virtue of your accessing this article online. You might not be particularly worried about that information being public, but consider what else you have revealed to the world by virtue of your digital presence. Are you planning a trip? A wedding? Have you been searching your medical symptoms on WebMD, or Google stalking your high school crush? Did all of your friends wish you a Happy Birthday on your Facebook page? If so, your financial status, religious beliefs, medical history, birth date and hometown have all been exposed, recorded and compiled into a virtual database that functions as your digital alter ego, a sort of online avatar. That critical mass of information may be accessible to the government or to anyone else who asks (or pays) for it.

Privacy may not feel like much of an issue for those in their teens and 20s. They’ve grown up chronicling their lives on popular social networking sites like MySpace or Facebook for easy retrieval by friends and strangers alike. But some young people don’t realize that what was funny to college buddies might not amuse a law-firm recruiter. Employers regularly research job applicants on the Internet. Some colleges are helping students prepare: Duke University hosts seminars on how to clean up a Facebook account. “You learn why posting pictures of you riding the mechanical bull at Shooters is a bad idea,” says Sarah Ball, a senior whose own page is secure and clean.

Amy Polumbo, 22, restricted her page on Facebook to 100 or so people who knew her password. “It was a way for me to keep in touch with friends all over the country,” she says. But after she was crowned Miss New Jersey in June, someone downloaded pictures of her and threatened blackmail. She thwarted the attempt by releasing the photos herself (they’re quite innocent) but suffered weeks of embarrassment.

“I know how easy it is for someone to take advantage of you on the Internet,” says Polumbo. “The Web is a place where people can destroy your reputation if you’re not careful.”

Good samples that need a little help:

1. The government will make more laws, but the senate needs to get more votes. The last law failed by five votes. The government will investigate.

2. Due to multiple attacks, the government tried to pass stricter gun laws. The law failed by five votes.
