I'm all for transparency in theory, but just how transparent should we
make things?
Is there anyone on the list that would willingly display every facet of their
life to the rest of the world ?
Would you really like your Mother, Boss or neighbours to be able to watch
while you improve your prostate health (as described in a recent post) ?
How much privacy do we need or want? and when does transparency for the good
of the whole become a violation of personal rights?
Personally, I could happily live in a world where everyone has access to my
finacial details, employment record and even my genetic code. When it comes to
bedroom and bathroom activities, that's my business.
In an 'ideal' transparent world where access to information about anyone and
anything, anywhere is available. Where do we set the level for personal
privacy? if at all.
