Privacy & Confidetiality



The use of new media has changed the internet world and with it arises the privacy isssues.  Everything and anything can be put on the web due to the ease of access to the internet world.  An example that appealed to me is an article in the New York Times about the teacher being fired over her Facebook picture.  The question arises that is anything private and is sharing your private life on the web safe?  We might make a post without thinking but it has implications and might haunt one later.  Today whatever is posted on social media about you or by you is screened by interviewers.  New media has its benefits but we should be really careful with what we do with it and especially what we post in the web world.  I just have to Google someones name in order to get some basic information, which is scary.
