And in the 80's there was an assumption that financial institutions were regulated and watched by government and wouldn't stitch people up with the small print but they weren't and they did. <br /><br />I'm kinda struggling because on the one hand I believe regulating the internet is a dead cert to kill innovation and creativity. However, when it comes to things like this, I find it abhorrent and laughable that Ryan Giggs gets a mention in Parliament as an issue of concern and this does not. That some people are making such a fuss about offline education yet this privacy creep is happening under their noses and potentially threatening the safety of millions of young people because of a lack of understanding of the implications and knock on effects of not bothering with privacy settings is...scary.louloukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562093751876067547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385386212883201200.post-4325601279122605292011-06-08T12:02:24.363-07:002011-06-08T12:02:24.363-07:00Well a year is a long time in tech let alone 20, s...Well a year is a long time in tech let alone 20, so I won't make any specific predictions about Facebook the company. But I reckon there'll be something much like it around for quite a while.<br /><br />We need a new name for something if it doesn't have one already. It's the thing where you do things online or even in the real world on the assumption that your privacy is essentially safe given the technology and policies in place at the time. But then the tech and policies change and you end up far more exposed than you would have previously agreed to.<br /><br />With every day that passes we generate more data and improve our ability to mine it. There's an alarmingly rapid privacy creep going on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385386212883201200.post-64512769256237034452011-06-08T11:51:12.941-07:002011-06-08T11:51:12.941-07:00Ah.
I think you're wrong. I think the Facebook...Ah.<br />I think you're wrong. I think the Facebook generation are going to grow up and regret being quite so open with their photos and their social lives and their er...inappropriate moments. <br />And, also, people are fickle and the interface is frankly horrid and people will get bored.louloukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562093751876067547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385386212883201200.post-22179309571479564402011-06-08T11:46:53.216-07:002011-06-08T11:46:53.216-07:00As the saying goes: If you're not the customer...As the saying goes: If you're not the customer you're the product. I don't expect Facebook to get better, I expect them to get worse as they grow bigger and calculate that people really can't live their lives without them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
