Technology, as Dave Price implies in his post below, is changing everything. One of the main ways it is doing so is by affecting, wildly, our privacy. I wrote here about how readily people will give up their privacy. Other people, on the other hand, don't give up theirs voluntarily -- but at least technology can not only empower, but snag, creeps like this -- a guy who was sticking his secret webcam in women's offices at Legal Aid in New York, the better to see them with. What a pathetic, but also scary, story.
The brave new world is a boon for me, but I could hardly blame anyone who just wanted to crawl back into the privacy hole.
