Privacy

Privacy is more important to some people than others. Some people don't mind their web history information shared to promote advertising, some people are very disturbed by it. Some people keep their profiles on Face Book, Twitter and other sites completely private, while some people will share everything with anyone who looks for them.

Privacy is a personal choice, and how far people are willing to put there selves out their to have conveniences like talking to people with a click of a mouse, or not going to the bank, just depositing money to accounts online can invade personal privacy.

I personally pay all my bills online and don't have much concern about it. I'm not sure why, as I think about it someone could hack into the system and take my credit card numbers that I have saved on the site (So I don't have to keep typing the credit card number). I don't have face book however because I just think their are too many creeps out their, looking for a new person to stalk everyday.

I think privacy is a huge concern but the Internet is so convenient to do mostly everything, its hard not to give out personal information. I don't think following web addresses is that bad. so what.... you might see a few ads that are related to you, no big deal. I just don't think information that includes addresses, financial information or personal information should be shown\

As this becomes a bigger issue I think laws and regulations will changes to protect us from scam artists just trying to find another easy way to make money.
