Sensors & sensibility: it's alarming! it's no big deal! how your personal information is being collected and protected, used and misused

Article Abstract:

Addition of technologies and uses of data increase the risk of their abuse, while the legal protections are not able to protect the privacy of individuals. A few counter measures for the security of personal data are also being investigated but with the advent of new data mining tools people are getting more accustomed to being watched and the security and efficiencies provided by these technologies compensate for the data abuse.

Article Abstract:

Privacy is considered a fundamental human right but it is a great price to pay for human security. The advent of new and improved sensors like radio-frequency ID tags, tiny digital cameras, cell phone locators and minute global positioning receiver systems along with personal data bases, data combing softwares and internet will enable unrestricted access to information in the coming years.

We like to watch: ubiquitous sensors and massive interlinked databases are propelling us into the post-Orwellian era. Are we ready to know everything about each other?

Article Abstract:

Technology's advent in the form of better search tools, more comprehensive public data-bases and pervasive sensors has brought the world to a golden age of transparency. The future will bring an era where people, transactions and things would be monitored everywhere thus, the need for privacy enhancing techniques is emerging but the reciprocal transparency has many merits.
