ASSIGNMENT 1: The Future of Privacy: digital life in 2025


According to the Australian Information Commissioner - “Privacy is important. It is about protecting our information on who we are, what we do, what we think and what we believe”. We live in a digital age and are very much attached to a technology on everything that we do. Our personal privacy is being threatened by a modern technology in a way how we use the technology in our daily life. The Internet companies such as Google and Facebook are collecting our data and creating new services for different advertising companies.

On December 18, 2014, Pew research report “The Future of Privacy: digital life in 2025” (available at http://www.pewinternet.org/files/2014/12/PI_FutureofPrivacy_1218141.pdf) indicated that there will be no privacy in the future and the IoT (Internet of Things) is the worst part of the problem.

Bojanova, Hurlburt & Voas (2014) said, “Today, the Internet of Things. Tomorrow, the Internet of Everything. Beyond that, perhaps, the Internet of Anything—a radically superconnected ecosystem where questions about security, trust, and control assume entirely new dimensions.” http://paris.utdallas.edu/sere14/docs/SERE-2014-Voas-paper.pdf
