After reading the article "You're Leaving a Digital Trail" by John Markoff, all I could think about was the book Little Brother by Cory Doctorow. The technoloical advancments in Little Brother worried me about American's future, but then this article by Markoff showed me that apparently it is a possibility. I do not know how I feel about the goverment or just other people in general being able to watch my every move. I would never be able to allow researched read my ever text, know what music I listen, just to get a smartphone. Call me crazy, but my privacy is much more valuable than any piece of technology.
Markoff's article really scared me. I worry about my Facebook privacy all the time, but according to the article the definition of privacy is changing. This article really made me sad because I feel like when I go into student teaching, try getting a job, or working at a school either my future students, my future principal, fellow teachers, and even parents are going to be watching my every move via technology. I mean we can just take a look at the quote from Dr. Malone, "Privacy may turn out to have become an anomoly." I know I do not want this. Does anyone really? Then why are we allowing techonology to go that far as to stalk people? I guess that is the question I really want to be answered.
