Privacy & Confidentiality

Privacy can very much be problematic because of the information we share about ourselves on the internet. For instance, when we use google it personalizes the ads we see and the suggestions made based on what we search on a daily basis. Therefore, it's as if google already knows who we are.

For hackers, they can misuse the information we decide to share and it may cause more harm than good.

With technology expanding and new media developing rapidly, privacy and confidentiality in the technological world are constantly being questioned. We are unaware of how secure the information we use is because scammers and hackers are becoming more successful at deceiving consumers.

As our technology increases, scammers and hackers are quickly learning how to adapt to new technology.

There are fake websites created to retrieve consumers personal information and therefore it results in identity theft. The use of apps on our phones are sometimes false and we are unaware of it.
In general, everything is becoming more technologically advanced, and it is a good thing that we have so much access to new media, but it is also a bad thing because the more technology we use the more privacy and confidentiality concerns we have as well.
