The Erosion Of Privacy As We
Know It

A decade ago, who would have thought an electronic heart
device could be
connected to the internet? Or that the data from that same
device could lead
to an arson and insurance fraud conviction of the very man it
was placed in?

3. If our own bodily functions can’t be kept private, what makes
us think that
everything else isn’t already waiting to be exposed? As
technology makes its
way into every aspect of our lives, we are increasingly trading
our privacy for
convenience, whether we know it or not. But based on the
example above,
and assuming you are a law-abiding citizen, this might not be a
bad thing.

In today’s world, we are never alone.
Most people don’t realize they will be photographed roughly 15
times, on
average, during a simple drive to the supermarket. On that same
trip, they’ll
typically end up on about 90 seconds of video without ever
knowing about it.
The texts and the calls they made on the way could also be
tracked. The

4. metadata will be sent instantly to databases around the world
and into the
cloud, where it will be immediately available to hundreds,
perhaps
thousands, of people and organizations. Our smartphones are
broadcasting
our exact locations at every moment, possibly sending the
information to
our friends, governments around the world, certainly to the
National
Security Agency (NSA) and to many others we are not aware of.
Let’s face it: Privacy as we know it is gone. But is that such a
bad thing?
Some argue that privacy is an intrinsic value and shouldn’t be
treated as a
dispensable commodity. They argue that privacy is essential for
self-
development, and without that, we would all conform to each
other and lose
our individuality.
Today, however, most Americans have unwittingly opted out of
privacy for
the convenience of surfing the web, monitoring their fitness
activity with
health trackers or receiving digital discounts at the grocery
store, just to
name a few. Our texts, medical records and credit card
information all have
been entered online and provided at our consent through terms
and
conditions. In fact, if we actually read through all of the terms
and
conditions each one of us is subjected to each year, it would

5. take about 76
work days to complete.

By spending so much time online or opting in to terms and
conditions, we
are essentially allowing third parties not only to create digital
copies of
ourselves but also to predict our behaviors before we even know
how we will
behave ourselves.
Again, is that such a bad thing?
Maybe it’s time we embrace this change. Here are three benefits
that I
believe will come from the erosion of privacy as we know it
today:
Less Cybercrime
The mere fact that we assign value to privacy makes it worth

6. stealing. Take
social security numbers, for example. SSNs were never intended
to be
anything more than a means for tracking the earnings histories
of U.S.
workers to determine their benefit entitlements. Now, someone
can use your
social security number to open a bank account under your name,
receive
benefits and ultimately steal your identity -- all because we put
so much
value on a previously worthless nine-digit number. We as a
society created a
need to keep social security numbers private, and now it’s
coming back to
haunt us.
Like our SSNs, information -- including NSA records, the
security cameras
that line our city streets and corporate databases -- should be
made public.
The more public our information is, the less it’s worth,
therefore limiting any
real value for cybercriminals.
Forbes Technology Council is an invitation-only community for
world-class
CIOs, CTOs and technology executives. Do I qualify?
Improved Health
A world without privacy has many benefits that extend far
beyond receiving
tailored advertisements and discounts showing up on your social
media

feed. It can also save lives. Currently, our health data is
protected by the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA),
which limits
disclosure of patient data and mandates secure storage and
transmission of
electronic records.
But what patients don’t realize is their health data may provide
the next big
breakthrough in medicine. By freely sharing our information --
such as the
state of our own health, medications we’re taking, side effects
we are
experiencing and our lifestyle habits -- we can help medical
providers,
entrepreneurs and companies make new medical discoveries that
would not
be possible without access to the large amounts of data that is
currently
being protected.
If we truly want answers to the world’s biggest health
mysteries, we must be
willing to share our most personal health information. We’ll not
only save

8. lives, but we may just all live a little bit longer.
Transparency
Privacy as we know it has only existed for a short time. If we
continue to
fight it, we are doing ourselves a disservice, because the more
we continue to
keep our information hidden from the masses, the longer our
governments
and a select few will be the only entities with access to it.
Having large sums
of data and metadata in the hands of only a few, allowing them
to dictate the
flow of information, could set the stage for societal peril.
Our information should be shared democratically like it was in
simpler
times, when everyone knew everything about you. Your favorite
color. Your
favorite food. What made you laugh. Your kids’ names. Where
is the harm in
that? Once information flows freely, governments will be forced
to follow
suit with transparency.
If we can’t stop the erosion of privacy as we know it, let’s
embrace a society
without it. Maybe we just might make the world a better place.
