You expect Privacy?

There is a crisis brewing and someone or something needs to happen soon to avoid it. First, do you really think anyone deserves privacy? We all have hundreds of photos posted on Facebook, do our banking online, file our taxes and on and on. Yet people get their noses bent out of shape when something goes public that they don't like. Kind of your cake and eat it too thing.
If we as a civilization want to progress past the point we are at then everything will need to be shared.
"Just Imagine" no borders and no religion too! haha, but really, the age of Star Trek is upon us. Sharing jobs, technology, power and all the things needed to make living in this world easy to do no matter where you live. Bah humbug you say? Well it's going that way weather you like it or not.
The current war of espionage being waged by the powers that be (China, Russia, USA) will open up all the secrets and make privacy a thing to forget about. In the end, I see this as a good thing, but my view will be hotly contested by the big corporations who think they have the right to "own us".
The only other way to avoid this is if someone can invent a way to prove you are you. Undisputed proof of identity in the online world. Then the internet can remain open, but my fear is that even if this software existed the powers that be will not want it. Secure you are you software will make it very hard for the government to spy on it's people, which brings us back to privacy. Do you really deserve it and does it really matter? " It's a catch twenty two" that will be politicized for the next few rounds of elections. I think the corporations brought this on themselves when 1, they allowed a patent for a living organism,(genetic plants) and 2, they allowed a corporation to be "an individual" with regards to political donations. (USA)
I often marvel at the audacity of these things, it would seem these people are becoming more and more bold and brazen as they stomp all over your so called "rights".
Privacy, it's going away. Get used to it.
