Is privacy important even if it's not related to any form of harm or injustice? Imagine a person enjoys looking through people's windows (or internal cameras) without their knowledge or consent. Would anything be wrong with this? If so, why? If not, why do you think people still find it objectionable?

            Topic:Summary and Analysis of Van Den Hoven's"Nanotechnology and Privacy"



Effect of Technology on Private Life


Technology is widely used nowadays. There is a very small place to affect the development process of technology. Hoven says a new technological product could change the direction of technology development. The technological tools we use now can become very obsolete after a few years. It is not possible to reach the speed of technology. In a few seconds, a higher model of each product is produced. Hoven mentions about the advantages of technology and offers us the opportunity to monitor and follow every kind of technological products, from the technological devices in our house to the tools we own. In other words, we can reach all our technological devices which are connected with technological devices. This technology is a great advantage for people.  Hoven discusses this because there is also somebody else the possibility of accessing and monitoring this technological device. Hoven says that this can be a great disadvantage for us and that it will jeopardize our privacy. Hoven argues about the possibility that the personal lives and personal information of people can be seized by cyber hackers, increasing as the technology advances.

Privacy is a very important part of human life. Today, we see that we have reached the level of nanotechnology in technological development. In our time, nanotechnology is perhaps the highest level of technology. Nano technology, integrated circuits, logistics, stores, non-staining dresses, hidden cameras, listening instruments, security systems have started to show activity in many different fields. However, the confidentiality of personal data is in danger. Nanotechnology, sub-micron and nano electronics has the privacy field. In other words, nano-technological devices store people's personal data in a confidential database and this informations don’t disappear anytime. However, the design of nano technology is not done by taking into consideration the privacy of the personal data of the people. It is designed and manufactured considering the technological purpose. However, the fact that people have personal data on someone else brings serious disadvantages to individuals. This is the main point of Hoven's article. For example, the protection of personal information reduces the likelihood of people being harmed in a manner similar to restricting access to fire, rather than in the open. Similarly, weapons reduce the likelihood of people being struck in the street. If we do not establish a legal regime that restricts citizens' access to weapons, we know that there is a chance that innocent people might be hit. So we have to close the road where danger is reached.

We share our personal information most of the time in internet. A person who can access this information can market it to someone else like a vendor. This can lead to our bank information, our personal information, our health security number, and many other confidential information. One who has our knowledge can create a very negative situation for us. Today, people sign confidentiality agreements in many areas. However, since they do not read the contents of the contracts much, they do not know what their personal data is. Therefore, data protection laws should take more rigid implications in terms of equality and protection of personal data. In addition, this situation requires marketing companies to use the personal data of other persons as a means of marketing, and require personal data to be addressed in a situation where more protection is required. Hoven says, Technology is both our friend and your enemy and that knowing this, Hoven says that we should act accordingly. People are very interested in technological advances. They want to have a newly produced technological product immediately. But this technological curiosity jeopardizes the safety of their personal information. There is a risk that the confidential information they have will be stolen. Without taking these risks and dangers, people continue to share their personal data on technological devices. We do not know who uses the personal data and for what purpose. Hoven states that laws must be more deterrent for the protection of personal and private information, and that the privacy of people is in need of further protection. Hoven mentions that organizations, individuals or companies that have information must be more protective and careful in the event that personal information may fall into the hands of bad intention people.


 I think privacy is very important for people. The information that people only have on their own is the special information. Knowing this particular information by someone else can put a person's private life in danger. If someone likes to examine people's windows, it is a very objectionable situation for their knowledge of the person examined. They can have bank information, social security number and many personal information about the person being examined. If this information is used, that person may have many problems, both material and spiritual. Therefore, the examination and investigation of a person's secret life without showing any respect, I think according to the law must be a big crime. I think it is wrong to examine their private life and knowledge of other people personal data. I believe that respect for people's private lives should be respected.
