''Privacy Lost: How Technology is Endangering Your Privacy'' is a non-fiction book by David H. Holtzman, a technologist and privacy expert. The book is an examination into the effect that technology is having and will have on human society. The book was released in September, 2006. The book is written in a conversational style, and aimed at the general public. Holtzman's contention is that the majority of people are blissfully unaware of how much information is being gathered about them, nor do they understand the power this information has when looked at in aggregate. Because of this, the book can be said to be an examination into the conceptual history of privacy, the current state of societal interaction with privacy and technology's impact thereon, and a cautionary message as to the future dangers posed by the current track we are on. ==Sections== Holtzman divides (''Privacy Lost'' ) into six sections: * Privacy Invasions Hurt -- Examines the damages caused by the loss of privacy, including descriptions of the “Seven Sins Against Privacy” and the collateral damage this loss causes society * Why Technology is Key – The history behind Americans’ concept of privacy, how and why technology affects privacy, and how new forms of technology create new types of crimes * Privacy in Context – Inspects the relationship between privacy and the law, identity and culture in a technological world * The Technology Eroding Privacy – Discusses the voyeurism of surveillance technology and the virtual “stalking” capabilities allowed by networks, tags and locators * The Watchers – Takes a close look at the two main culprits invading Americans’ privacy: corporate marketers and the U.S. Government *What Can Be Done? – What the future holds in store for our privacy, including ways our privacy can be safeguarded and a call to action for all those who feel troubled by the path down which our privacy is being led, including how to “fight back” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Privacy Lost」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
