AW: [governance] Our own worst enemies??

[Kettemann, Matthias (matthias.kettemann@uni-graz.at)]

Dear Deirdre,

you raise important issues, but I believe that the digital natives are capable of feeling outrage regarding excesses of online surveillance.  They do want to share certain aspects of their lives, but don't want others to make the decision for them. The changing nature of privacy is, in my opinion, an important conceptual debate with an important socio-psychological dimension. The one on surveillance a principled one and one that needs to be grounded in politico-legal terms.

Kind regards

Matthias

Betreff: [governance] Our own worst enemies??

I support the statement which is just about to be read in Geneva.

In the context of these revelations I find this information<http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22767096> disturbing to say the least - a film clip from the BBC titled "Logging our lives with wearable technology"
And Google provided me with an interesting thought this morning: Quote of the Day - Emile Zola<http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/e/emile_zola.html> - "If you ask me what I came into this life to do, I will tell you: I came to live out loud."
I have the impression that the digital native lives "out loud" habitually.
I wonder if digital natives would experience the same sense of outrage and betrayal that many of us are feeling.
Is this a generation divide, a shift in values, or a suitable case for capacity building?
Deirdre
