The issue of Privacy

I would say that there are certain ways we have lost our privacy in the world today and that which we have given up to feel "safe". When I am emailing someone, different advertisements pop up on the side of the screen that deal with what I'm talking about. Yeah they might just be looking for key words, but that still means they can read what I'm sending. I'm not freaking out that some government sight is reading everything I send, but sometimes I wonder if a stalker would hack in and read all my stuff. I'm not giving that freely, well it most likely says something along those lines in the fine print of the "I agree to these Terms" that no one ever reads. Yet beyond that we have knowingly and freely given up some of our privacy to make sure we are safe. For example, cameras in the mall. They could potentially catch different really embarassing things. For example the girl who was texting and walked/fell right into the Berkshire Mall's fountain. Yet that's not what those cameras are for. They are there so if there is a physical fight they can send police to stop it or if a child is kidnapped while in the mall they might be able to catch the criminal. Those sorts of things. We have given up our privacy in those cases to make sure that we are protected. That kind of protection I am fine with, as long as no one goes overboard with it.
