It really is a paradox isn't it?
To flaunt your private information on the internet with no respect for the risk of doing so is so foolish. To don a tinfoil hat and resist putting your information into the database everyone is building about you is futile.
The fact is any system is vulnerable to attack and even the most astute digital hiders eventually get found.
Knowing some of the truth and resigning oneself to look at it as a necessary evil is definitely not good for the paranoia!
What to do? Be as careful as possible I suppose so that we are not the easiest of the easy targets.
It's a part of our lives whether we want it to be or not. I just think it is kind of funny that when FB was first released people couldn't wait to put every little detail about their lives on there and there even idiots who would answer "surveys" that would reveal commonly used personal questions that would be on a bank website like "name of your elementary school" and the "name of your first pet". I saw one thread where someone said "If your social security number was your bank balance, how much money would have you have?" and tons of people actually answered.
These are just idiots though. I think that if you exercise a certain amount of due diligence things are going to be fine for most people.
