Fb and every other social site, arrest search websites, government websites , gives away all your business . Yes its all legal public information probably. But dang,, the net makes it really easy.
when your cell phone rings it rings differently when your on the phone and goes straight to vmail when your phone is off.
When you open your email the sender can get a receipt.
Gps tracking and friends who say that they are "with" you causing your location to be disclosed long before you look at your phone (because of course you are already logged in ) and see tha you were "tagged".
My question is, has this changed how you operate? Has it made you more honest?
If anything, technology has provided more opportunity for a cheater to cheat, regardless of how easy it is for their significant other to creep on them all the time.
Well, since my phone tells when I am on the phone ,, I have found that I limit who I talk to . Dont want the girl I like calling at midnight for pillow talk and the phone uses that funny tone that tells her that Im already on the line! Hate it but I guess its ok.
Directed towards the Op.
I definitely think that technology has made us more aware o our actions.
After all what is the theory? Once it is on the net it is law and proof.
As far as honest? Umm there are always around it , loopholes much like anything else. Do not update, put your business on FB, ask friends not to tag you if you have stated that they not do this. Use pseudonyms as a user, proxies. Ect and so forth.
The net has made it easier to lie about criminal records and careers but about anything else? There are ways around it
Technology is wonderful, there are certain things we have that people were still dreaming about ten years ago. I can be in another country and have a "facetime" conversation with an old friend or family member. I think we can all agree that modern technology has made things more convenient in our day to day lives. The thing I don't like is the passive aggressive mindset that has come along with it. People would rather text/email to say something important, or in some cases even fire a person. Then to top it off there is a whole culture of "oversharing". I don't need to know where you are through your facebook account or foursquare, If you have an epiphany about something why not keep it to yourself (that makes the moment more powerful).
I had all my information removed from seach and backround check sites. it took sometime to do so.
My phone does not ring different when i am on it or off ...... I am careful with what Apps I download on my phone. I am very private on my FB and its listed under my business.
So if anyone wanted to track me down they end up at a strip mall because I use a mail drop off for all my mail....not saying no one can find me but its not going to be a easy task and a lot of waste of time for what I would call a stalker who needs to know all of my private info.
I don't think that technology changes people habits. It's more of a tool. Each person uses it according to his own lifestyle/personality. For example, a cheater will stay a cheater but now he has to be more careful about covering it up and at the same time can now find new ways to cheat. On the other hand, someone who isn't a cheater won't all of a sudden start cheating because they can discreetly meet someone from a dating site.
How you use technology depends on who you are. I know it hasn't changed me in any way. I try to keep my information private, but not because I have something to hide. Just to stay on the safe side. I'm not like most people my age (26) though who are obsessed with stuff like social media. I don't use it much, so it's never had a big effect on my life.
I think it's just allowed the super egotistical of us post lots of TMI everywhere. I do not define that as true honesty. It's more like the truth gets out there due to reasons of "I'm too stupid to not post plastered pictures of myself all over a cyber network of billion+ users."
