Where did our privacy go? Database Nation from O'Reilly & Associates, discusses the death of privacy in the 21st century. Just one of the subjects covered in the book is "The Systematic Capture of Everyday Events"- as we enter a new world in which every purchase we make, every place we travel, every word we say, and everything we read is routinely recorded and made available for later analysis. What are the implications of this as more telemarketers, corporations, insurance companies, and the government can find out virtually anything about us? And what if a mistake occurs, can we ever get it corrected? Decide for yourself the implications as the author, Simson Garfinkel discusses Database Nation. |
