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?

No privacy means:
(1) For good persons,
. . a. Loosing defense against villains.
. . b. Gaining symbiosis.
(2) For bad persons,
. . a. Gaining chances to do evils.
. . b. Loosing some defense against policemen, etc.
So, “we just become more accepting that illegal activities occur, and not do anything about it.”
The advanced new technology is a kind of invalid (ineffective) happiness, leading us to self-extinction.
Our evolution can never catch up with it.
(For INVALID (ineffective) happiness, see the 1st article, points 1-3, 14, at https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D&id=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D%21283&sc=documents)
