Privacy & Confidentiality

The rise of the new media age results in the sudden loss of privacy and confidentiality.  It seems as if we traded our privacy for convenience and commercial profit from the technology of our media.  Records are computerized by our government as well as by private companies.  Although this does prevent criminals from certain liberties, many people are stripped of their privacy.  Other invasive methods of the new media age include personal information on social media, credit card use, bar coding, and services that show our location.  With all of these factors publicizing our private lives, confidentiality and privacy are being compromised.
