Privacy and Confidentiality In New Media

New media has made privacy almost extinct over the years because of how much information becomes public by sharing online. People don't notice how much they are posting about their own lives because they think it is all out there for friends but have no idea where it is going. Privacy was something very sacred and since this era with social networking like Facebook and Twitter it took it to a new level. The older generation took privacy and confidentiality very seriously and nowadays people don't understand the seriousness and the risks that come along with losing your privacy due to new media.
