FB founder says people don't want privacy.
I think most people just do not realize how much of their information is out on the web. A prequel to Battlestar Galactica, Caprica brought up the idea that AI could be generated from all searches pertaining to one's identity. I don't think that could happen. Though, with more information kept digitally, one could get a surface image of a person. If we leave small snippets of ourselves online, somebody out there will gather them all together. Whether it's your long-lost friend, marketer, or your future employer, I think one needs to be careful to know what is out there.
On another topic, I have to recommend Passing Strange with a note. I enjoyed the movie version and wish I could have seen it live. Drug use is a prominent theme and this was the only part I didn't like. The story highlights how a man's musical journey was scattered with drug use. Again, another display of how drug use is an integral part of one part of society. I think we are being habituated to believe that drugs are an acceptable part of our culture. The argument for the legalization of drugs is tied to drug economics. However, the drug market isn't the real problem, it's the buyers. So, the buyers and users are causing the quick destruction of a neighbor.
