Blog for Privacy

In our previous lesson, we learned copyright which the interests imperiled yet threatened are powerful and well organized compare to privacy, which the interests threatened are disseminate and disorganized. According to one meaning of Brandeis’s slogan, privacy is “the right to be left alone”. Once you got privacy, no one can disturb and distract you unless you allow a limited space in case there is an emergency case likely to occur. For instance, when you are involved in any particular group, your personal information are protected and kept as safe as can be from being known by others. Nowadays, as the digital technologies bombard efficiently, these technologies have changed these protections, from being protected to unprotected. Obviously, there is a negative effect of high-glitter of technology because the expectation of privacy in what is reasonably understood to be ‘private’ spaces remains unchallenged by new technologies. In addition, the new technologies that started to grow in our era are actually for our good purposes, it makes our works less difficult and more efficient. For example, the revolution of the internet makes our life easier as the information can be acquired within our fingertips. The same thing goes to e-mail, V-mail, Voice, Video and so forth. “Privacy here is simply the protection against unreasonable and burdensome intrusions, and this search, the second youth argued, was not as unreasonable and burdensome as to justify the fit of anger.” I believe that it is pretty difficult to admit that the digital surveillance sometimes disrupt our privacies because it is annoying to live a life when privacies no longer being protected and defended.
