Technology Affecting Privacy Now

Technology has come a long way and it has affected our privacy in both a good and bad
way.
Since technology has expanded, we have created a lot more social media websites and
applications that show people our personal life.
Facebook, for example, was created so you can see what your friends are up to and
how they are even if you guys live far away.
