In our class discussions we reflect on privacy and security. I believe that privacy overshadows security, I would rather have privacy than security, because the way I see it is that in me not letting others see my stuff and information then I’m providing my own means of security because the things that I demand privacy combined make me up as a whole. My possessions make me who I am, with out them I am nothing, and someone else has the ability to get in and see that then basically they can either hurt me or leave me alone. I like privacy mainly because I don’t like the fact that other people know my business, it gets on my nerves when other people start talking about me and don’t even have the courage to tell me, I mean its my life, if I don’t know it how do they. So it just makes me go into a stage of paranoia and I just try and lock everything up so no one without my permission can see anything. In “Little Brother” Marcus is always trying to cover his trails and putting codes and encrypting things. He likes his privacy more than most people I know. He is the same as me, he has nothing to hide but he has everything to hide. Because to me some things are inside jokes or other things that can be miss construed into thinking I’m being a little deviant criminal (which I am not). I don’t download or rip movies off their discs or the Internet and I don’t download music from places such as frostwire or limewire. I enjoy my privacy but if I’m faced with obstacles such as Marcus was then I would fold as well, because really I have nothing to hide. I don’t lock my phone mainly because there is nothing on it. Maybe a few text messages but that’s it and I don’t care who reads those because they truly mean nothing. My call history isn’t very exciting mainly my mom calling me to ask me how I’m doing and what my plan is for the day. I think we should be responsible fore our actions and that we should secure ourselves, as we feel necessary.
