Progression 2 (Daniel's)


I've continued to look up the issue of privacy and security and I came across this website that provided valuable insight over both issues can collaborate and thus remove the government from the picture whilst still providing the Personal security and still allowing user privacy on the net. It is an interesting read and provided me another aspect to look at; What if, the public and the government can walk hand in hand to improve both security and privacy but without the snooping nose of the government in your everyday businesses? The internet has done nothing but expand in the last few years and is now reaching over third-world countries like Africa and as a result, the user contribution is slowly shooting up. This website provides ample insight over our future with the Internet. 

The link to it is as follows:

The author has taken great efforts to show us what the internet would be like and the possible situations that might occur if the internet continues on this route toward the future. While not completely answering the brief over whether Privacy or Security should be prioritized, it provided me the means to look at this in a different light. It would provide an interesting thesis of neutrality regarding the assignment question and provide a less direct answer to the brief.

Overall, I feel that it is a decent site to visit and though a secondary source, is quite credible in it's approach on the subject while giving us a visionary's view of what our possible future would be like.
Instead of tackling this head-on, why not provide an amiable peace treaty and put a rest on both sides? Seems plausible. And it just might prove to be a valuable approach internationally, not just restricted to one country.
