In the modern world, you could easily get all the information that you needed on the internet, newspapers and magazines. That was really convenient for us nowadays. However, did we ever think about that where the information comes from? We just cared about what we wanted and what we needed; we ignored the other side of the "convenient tools", that was privacy.

If you were interested in somebody or something, all you had to do is to google it. Then you could see a person's pictures, background and his whole life on the website. That was simple but horrible. It was as though you were a totally transparent person; like you wear nothing and everyone could understand you thoroughly. There was a movie star talked about the problem on a TV program, the host asked her that if she was frustrated by some difficulties, who is the person that she would like to pour out.

For this reason, all the papers were look alike and you would hardly see a different one. Maybe that was a wonderful thing that you would like to share your works on the mass media, but if you found that your creations were stolen and post on the person's own place then how did your feel? It must discourage you from sharing things.

Not only the technology but also the tendencies made people live without privacy. More and more people were like to know other person's secrets; they were the ones who created paparazzi. Even if you locked your secrets in cipher, there must be somebody who was able to unlock it. Consequently, the technology made our life become more convenient; we still had many problems which could not be solved.
