Privacy is a growing concern in the United States and around the
world. The spread of the Internet and the seemingly boundaryless
options for collecting, saving, sharing, and comparing information
trigger consumer worries. Online practices of business and
government agencies may present new ways to compromise privacy, and
e-commerce and technologies that make a wide range of personal
information available to anyone with a Web browser only begin to
hint at the possibilities for inappropriate or unwarranted
intrusion into our personal lives. Engaging Privacy and Information
Technology in a Digital Age presents a comprehensive and
multidisciplinary examination of privacy in the information age. It
explores such important concepts as how the threats to privacy
evolving, how can privacy be protected and how society can balance
the interests of individuals, businesses and government in ways
that promote privacy reasonably and effectively? This book seeks to
raise awareness of the web of connectedness among the actions one
takes and the privacy policies that are enacted, and provides a
variety of tools and concepts with which debates over privacy can
be more fruitfully engaged. Engaging Privacy and Information
Technology in a Digital Age focuses on three major components
affecting notions, perceptions, and expectations of privacy:
technological change, societal shifts, and circumstantial
discontinuities. This book will be of special interest to anyone
interested in understanding why privacy issues are often so
intractable. Table of Contents Front Matter Executive Summary Part
