Invasion of Privacy
One
of the greatest boons to productivity and efficiency in recent years
has also proved to be one of the greatest threats to privacy we've ever
known: the computer. The more powerful computers become, the more data
they can store and cross-reference. And there's nothing government officials
and marketers alike appreciate more than data on individuals - the more
they can get, the better! Centralized data storage represents threats
on a great many fronts ranging from the criminal (identity theft, stalking)
to the unethical (the bank president who accesses customer medical records
and forecloses on the loans of those diagnosed with cancer) to the just
plain it's-none-of-your-business invasions of privacy (how much do you
make? what over-the-counter medications do you buy?). Michael Hyatt
provides both discussions of various threats and how, even today, you
can protect yourself against them.
