Blog assignment 1

How to Deal with the Privacy Invasion
Through Snooping Bosses we learned: GPS technology, Xora and Surf control software, video surveillance all of them are the secret snitches, not only what you do at work, but also your spare time activities could be monitored by employers. Employees look like be completely controlled. Even though mobile phone, blogger and face book are also not secure, maybe our personal information have been compromised unwittingly, that even lead to a serious consequences. People are father and father away from individual privacy, it cause a tendency of panic and anxiety in contemporary society.
Facing various high technologies, how could we deal with the privacy invasion? Maybe the security industry will develop rapidly since the high demands. Then we can imagine that the employees will use more advanced software to fight against the employers monitor. As a result, there is only a feeling of suspicion and distrust among people; I believe that is the really creepy word!
How to protect our privacy and build up a homogeneous society? In my opinion, on the one hand we should consummate our laws and relative regulations constantly, especially for new technology, establish clearly definitions and boundary conditions as soon as possible. For example, one kind of software could just be used in a certain field and definite period as a surveillance instrument, otherwise it is illegal. On the other hand, as employees we should advocate professional ethics and honesty virtue.
