Privacy? What Privacy?


Every time you do a Google search, every time you check in on Facebook, every tweet you make someone is watching you.

How much did you reveal about yourself online today and does it really matter?

The Red Queen effect is alive and well in cyberland. As the Queen said to Alice "It takes all the running you can do to keep in place". However, in all that running to keep up, what are we leaving behind, what are we letting go. Are our digital identities starting to overshadow our physical identities?

Privacy and on line security are issues we need to be aware of. We need to keep up with changes and make sure we are aware of what we are accepting when we  click accept and what and to whom we are giving our personal information to.

The Australian Government's Office of the Australian Information Commissioner website has useful information and FAQ's when searching for privacy issue answers.
