Privacy

New media changes our lives significantly, especially to our privacy.  Much of our privacy are exposed by different social networking sites in today's digital age. It is not just affecting to ourselves personally, but it's also affecting to our family and friends. According to the article "Information Privacy: Changing Norms and Expectations" by Daniel Reed, that talks about the ownership of a photo from family union gathering.  It is hard to argue who owns the right to these photos, because whoever in the photo is participating in the photo, including the photographer. They are having the right of these photos. So, our privacy is vague because whoever participated in the event could share the right to distribute the content of someone who also participated in the event. On the other hand, our credit card information could potential at risk while we are using new media. According to the article, "Target works on security-heavy credit cards, after breach" by Dora Kerr, talks about Target, a retail company leaking numerous customer's bank information, which they need to implement a new program that costs approximately $100 million. By doing this, hopefully can secure the transaction and keep customer's information confidential.
