Mobile Technology Has Changed The Way We Perceive The World.

This is a pretty exciting age and there are a number of reasons for that. The population’s perceptions have shifted. What were once considered inacceptable practices and behaviours have suddenly become the norm. We see a lot of different examples of that. Most of the example are good: the racial equality is now higher than ever, and the same applies to equality towards women in work places.

Technology has a big part in this evolution also. Things like the internet and extremely large databases have contributed in a very positive way to the improvement of our everyday lives. Formerly we were forced to sift through tons of paper to find a record. Now it is done with a click of a button. Things like medical records, bills and other important documents are stored digitally, which prevents data loss due to fires.

But this is where things get complicated. Bad guys can also gain access to these databases. This means, that our privacy is at the mercy of the database security, it’s dangerous because where there is a lock there will always be a key. Nevertheless, centralized databases have created very convenient services for regular users. For exampleReverse phone number look up comes to mind.

This service allows you to get details about the person to whom a particular telephone number belongs. It has a lot of useful applications in our everyday lives. If a person is being bombarded with phone calls from a particular telemarketing company he can reverse lookup their number and send an official letter to their address. You can also discover who is that annoying individual who is placing silent phone calls.

But even this seemingly innocent tool is a potential weapon. A sexual predator also knows how to use reverse lookups. A careless person might give out his or her phone number in the club and become a victim. This might force us to sacrifice our conveniences for the sake of safety. We have to remain vigilent at all times, when it comes to disclosing our personal information to strangers.

Every single individual should be able to express his opinion. We as people should be the ones dictating what can and cannot be disclosed Our expressions of freedom are like small grains which are easy to lose but hard to get back. Our children might one day find themselves in a complete privacy nightmare. If ever that level of privacy violation is reached it would be extremely hard to change anything. I see only one possible solution which can help us avoid this nightmare. I believe that privacy matters should be voted on by every citizen.
