I believe that as technology evolves, we as humans want to things to be simpler. For example, the convergence of technology in regards to phones. New phones such as Blackberries, IPhones, Nokia's, Samsung, and many others have come out with things that you can add onto your phone or have pre-installed. From apps, music, videos, internet, camera's, and much more, phones have become a part of our social lives, and as they evolve and change throughout time. So does privacy.  With evolution and convergence of technology, the privacy factor comes into question, alongside various types of social networking websites. For example Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc. These social networks have come to introduce people to having their information and other individuals' information at the touch of their hand. And by doing so, there is a lot of personal information on the web (ranging from address, phone number, pictures, etc). I believe that the future of privacy is a risky topic because on one hand there are those individuals who want to keep their information private, yet on the other hand, there are those individuals who want to put out their information. I think that it all basically depends on the technology and means of communication at the end of the day. This is because as technology evolves, the convergence of different types of technologies will eventually lead to people having their personal information out in the open, leading people to having little privacy to none at all eventually.
