what would planet earth be like if we had no privacy, whatsoever?
whether we like it or not, privacy is slowly becoming something of the past, even if by illegal means such as hackers hacking into private databases or mobile phones, or by social networking where we actually voluntarily give out our personal information.
not to mention advertising agencies on the internet tracking every website we go to via cookies.
let me say, most people would agree that we are entitled to privacy. in fact there are laws that ensure we have privacy.
however, consider what the benefits would be for having no privacy.
would illegal activities stop, for fear of being caught?
or, would we just become more accepting that illegal activities occur, and not do anything about it?
how do you imagine a world where everything we do is on for show?

I think sense of privacy is a marker of state of enlightenment of a society and also of a diminished requirement of social dependence for survival. So if the planet earth had no privacy whatsoever we would have evolved in a much different way than how we are now socially and probably much closer to natural cycles of earth.
I am not sure though if it would have been worse than how we are today.
