I don't think it's entirely paranoid to say the new generations are being conditioned, by reward, to accept a lack of privacy. The general lack of up to date education, on privacy issues, that I perceive exists, probably enforces that.

Hands up who thinks that's a good thing?

Thats the younger generation, I mean there. My own generation and above, I think are often acutely aware of the issues... but too ignorant of the technicalities... to the extent that ignorance at this level can be exploited (as opposed to naivety, about the need for privacy, being exploited).

 

It could be suggested that we're moving towards a kind of "open source" society. He he. Well, relative to individuals at least...

I'm totally generalising here of course... and speculating based on my finite personal observations. No surveys or statistics have been gathered to back this up
