Nearly all of them would be appalled and disturbed if they realized how much of what they consider to by private is easily known and obtainable online. I have written about the concept of "privacy" many times, but it looks like it is time to visit this topic again. Of course, none of the people who are caught up in that belief would be the ones reading my very public blog.

My brothers and parents are all extremely paranoid and private people. They do not have an online presence in their own right -- no Facebook, no Twitter, no blogs, nothing (see above mentioned paranoia). I do. I am, by far, the least private person in my family (even so I fully believe and act on the principle that if you don't want it known don't put it online and am selective about what I talk about or put online). The one time I tried to put pictures of my nieces on Facebook without vetting it with my brother first nearly caused WWIII. I had to agree, in writing, not to name living people on my blog at the outset. In my family it definitely matters. I don't agree with their level of paranoia , but I will respect it.Jo Hennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17566276500934815959noreply@blogger.com
