Privacy and Confidentiality

Issues of privacy and confidentially are closely related to new media. These days all of our information is easily accessible. For a small fee we can practically find out a persons life story. New media has made this type of accessibility irreversible. We are definitely not as protected as we once were many years ago. Every time we log into a website it is being recorded. Sure we have all these privacy settings on social network sites but does this really give us "privacy"? There is a world wide web in which we don't actually live in, therefore we don't really see its limits. I think it's safe to say there is no privacy in today's world and we can thank technology for this.
