Computer technology has changed the face of the world in countless way. More information is generated each second and it becomes increasingly easier to share. Society as a whole can’t say too many negative things against technology due to the fact society has interwoven itself with the computer. However, there will always be naysayers. Some think the constant imposing threat of privacy being under attack is a major issue. People want to feel safe and not like they’re being an always watchful “Big Brother”. To overcome these issues however, we as a society need to learn to be more cautious with everything we do online. Read more about what we install, learn how to use the programs properly, and most importantly learn about the safety features being built into most every application now. One quick example is the application Foursquare, where you are logged every time you enter a location that has been previously set up. This could be an issue for people who do not wish to be in the spotlight always. But you can go into the settings and set options that allow more control of who sees you and when they see you, giving you the convenience of the technology and the security of privacy.
