There's a trend for people to give up all of their information without the slightest regards for privacy or possible abuse. People do this with Facebook by allowing Facebook to, quite literally, track them throughout pretty much all aspects of life - communications, personal habits, photos, location, purchasing, et cetera.<p>On the business side, there's this trend to stick everything in to "the cloud" and just trust it's OK because everyone else is doing it.<p>It seems it's too much effort for people to imagine all the ways this could go wrong. Some of us, though, actually think and care and don't simply believe everything we're told.<p>What happens when we find out the true extent that our information is being used against us? For a majority of us, it'll be too late because chasing fads and trends and doing what everyone else is doing is too appealing, somehow.<p>For those of us who are too paranoid to just hand over data, you can't even say we're wrong any more - just look at what Edward Snowden taught us about the extent to which our own government has been flagrantly disregarding the law. Keep in mind that's barely scratching the surface.
