It is important to understand that in a world where technology is continuously changing and developing, that the level of privacy that we want will not correlate with the level of access we want to the online world. With the increased mobility of online access, along with the increased mediums through which to store and share personal information, comes the added understanding that complete and secure privacy is not possible. With this understanding, it is also important to use caution when uploading personal information online as well as being careful who the information is being sent to.
