Personal Privacy
Privacy is something that we all crave as human beings, yet it is something that we have
to constantly fight for. In a world of 7 billion people, it is important to feel secure in a space of

consumers and citizens of the United States, we have to decide just how much of our privacy are
we willing to exchange for convenient and intelligent services powered by the Internet as well as
protection by our government. It is critical that we become aware of how exactly our privacy
may be violated every time we register for a new service as well as how our government may
push the boundaries of our birth-given rights in order to protect the interests of the government
and at what cost will the protect our being on a post-9/11 world.
