mythbusters and privacy

I shared this video during my 1105 presentation on security and privacy.


strange thing about people is that while they complain a lot about privacy, they want convenience, they want to establish an identity on the internet.  yet these 2 actions often contradict privacy.  


i look at some of the stuff the kids i taught and my friends post on online, i have nothing to say.  i think most people (especially singaporeans) really have no idea on how easy it is for future employers to dig up their information on facebook.  even though the security groups feature have been up around, most people's photos can still be easily stalked.  


i'm pretty worried for the little ones actually, they are not going to learn the ill-effects of not cherishing their own privacy until they suffer from it.  too bad.
