Protecting your privacy

With the world opening up and technology advancements, privacy is a term less know. Nothing is private. Then what are the means to protect your privacy.’, ‘

I was browsing through the internet the other day and was surprised to find one of my poems published in a website. I had never published it in any websites or, had given it to anyone to publish. It was then that I remembered that I had written the poem while I was sitting at the airport a month back. There were people sitting around me, but I hardly noticed them because I was busy with my laptop.

“Privacy” is a noun, less found these days. Forget about celebrities, whose lifes are a feed for daily news, even a common man like me have lost privacy. We do not have the right to blame it on anyone except ourselves because it is we who are responsible for this invasion into our privacy. So, what is a solution to it? The available solutions would all, not be that comfortable, but do we have a choice? Probably, not.

I could protect my laptop from those prying eyes and protect my works with a laptop privacy screen, but what about the thousand other things to which I have no other option?

The only solution to this is to always keep your eyes open. Think not just to whom you are talking to, but also who around you is listening to you. I pray that the term “privacy” at least remains in the dictionary.
