Technology is meant to make our lives
more productive, but, inexorably, it has also led to a new form of paranoia.
Many of us are familiar with these many common forms of technology paranoia
such as Reply all, SMS sent to the wrong person, Phantom Cell phone Syndrome,
Copy and paste, status update, a constant state of email vigilance, parental
control, Privacy Paranoia etc. Among all
of them the most venomous are Privacy Paranoia. Can anything you do online remain truly private in this day and
age? One out of eight people in the world has a Face Book account and every
site we visit online would like install a cookie to track our online progress. Do you
know the Google, Face Book, and other social network site owners have the right
to access any of your personal information and can publish them if they want.
They can also give your personal information to some other companies if they
want. Today’s drop box, Google document, cloud computing all create the
technocrats more paranoid.
