As the world moves into the twenty-first century, cellular
systems, high-density data storage, and the Internet are but a few
of the new technologies that promise great advances in productivity
and improvements in the quality of life. Yet these new technologies
also threaten personal privacy. A surveillance society, in which
the individual has little control over personal information, may be
the logical result of deregulation, globalization, and a mass
data-processing capacity. Consumers report increasing concern over
erosion of personal privacy even as they volunteer personal
information in exchange for coupons, catalogues, and credit. What
kind of privacy future are we facing? In Visions of Privacy: Policy
Choices for the Digital Age, some of the most prominent
international theorists and practitioners in the field explore the
impact of evolving technology on private citizens. The authors
critically probe market, ethical, global, regulatory and advocacy
issues, as each answers the question, 'How can we develop privacy
solutions equal to the surveillance challenges of the future?'
