The document discusses how privacy is changing in the modern world of social media and ubiquitous cameras. It notes that what used to be considered private is now often shared publicly online. Many people overshare details about their lives, from photos of their pregnancies to details about their children, without considering who might access this information later. While technology enables new forms of sharing and connection, it also poses threats to individual privacy, with personal data now at risk of being tracked or accessed without consent. The document raises questions about how much control and ownership people really have over the information they share online.
Mobile devices have become a prominent fixture within our lives. They have become so entrenched within our everyday routines that we use them somewhat habitually and unconsciously. But when does it cross the line from convenience to obsession or from addiction to phobia? Nomophobia, the fear of not having ones phone, has become a common ailment within modern society. Technology is important, mobile devices have become fundamental to the maintenance of numerous facets of our lives. I am not against the use of phones, just remember – you control the technology, don’t let it control you!
