Is anything kept private?

As we advance in technology. we continue to be more involved in each others lives. We can use the bathroom, be on Facebook, talk on the phone, and stay connected with others all at the same time. This seems intrusive. Yes, some may say that we opt to be involved in these connecting networks, but it seems that we really have no choice.

Recently, in class we were asked to join this blog. This in itself is not problematic, however what does this say about the future. If we remember when we were younger we journalized everything. We (especially girls) would keep these journals in our possession at most times. These thoughts of our daily life were sacred. Our thoughts were "For our eyes only!" It seems that nowadays we can't wait to tell everyone what we think, what we are doing, and what are plans are for the day. My question: "Why do we care so much?"

Since when does it matter what Bob down the street is doing at 3 o'clock and again at 3:05? Don't get me wrong I am on Facebook and enjoy it (at times probably too much), I just don't understand why everyone needs to know what we are doing all the time.

I think that society as a whole needs to gain back the little privacy that we have. We need to understand that some things are better left unsaid, and kept secret!
