PRIVACY IS DEAD - SOCIAL MEDIA HOLDS THE GUN

It is such a fascinating experience to be able to make a friend from Utopia, like the superfluous profile statements and lovely chatting expertise sitting cozy in a corner of my private space. While I will feel comfortable sitting on the other side of the screen, with complete belief that the new found friend has absolute no idea of how I look, and will believe that which is given on my profile list.

I am educated, I know exactly how to use all the apps, even know how to hide it from my family , my wife, my children and my colleagues. Well I am a fool, oblivious of the fact that my this new found gaming partner can outsmart me in my own design and can lure me just like a highway robber into a corner from where I have no escape and will have to succumb to his/her attack.It is such a fascinating experience to be able to make a friend from Utopia, like the superfluous profile statements and lovely chatting expertise sitting cozy in a corner of my private space.

Where do we stand as a society ?

We need the luxury of technology, we are blessed to have the social connectivity like never before which has made huge difference in the way we conduct our daily life.. yet we are not able to learn or understand the rule of the game. Privacy is dead while social media holds the gun.

Will we allow our youngsters to share our cigarette or our glass of vodka ? I am sure NO. yet we do not see the vices in social media engagements and we heartily work overboard in peer pressure, brand hunting and without much thought make our kids equipped with this Nonsense.
