Privacy and Confidentiality

             Although new media has brought about a new means of communication in society today, there is an issue concerning privacy. Take Facebook as an example. People are allowed to see another person's profile without them knowing about it although it can be fixed by changing some privacy settings. Twitter is another example because people tend to tweet whatever is on their mind such as their location, what they are up to at the moment, and how they're feeling. Everyone gets caught up in these things and forget about privacy; some people want publicity in their lives so they can feel "good" about it. Even though technology has constantly been improving every year, more programs should be created to protect our personal information. Sharing information may be okay in the short run but in the long run, we should keep it confidential because the person reading your information behind his/her monitor may use it to their own personal benefit, in a good/bad way.
