Please Note:
Venue:台中市南屯區大業路182號 Mos Burger
Thanks a lot for your attention.

Questions:
1. What is your opinion about the debatable issue “Why Privacy Matters Even If You Have ‘Nothing to Hide’”?

2. Do you think a couple should be respectful of each other’s privacy or not?

3. Do you still remember: when you were young; your parent might be used to read your letters or diary without your permission? How did you feel? What did you think of it?

4. If you are/were a parent, will/would you do that to your kids? Why or why not?

5. As we know, Google Maps is very convenient, especially with the satellite function. What if you find you were photographed by Google’s street view car cameras while you were changing clothes in your place or somewhere --you become one kind of landmark, what will you react?

Dear Taichung Happiers,

While writing “Who are you? Why do you hide in the darkness and listen to my private thoughts?”(Romeo and Juliet: Act 2, Scene 2), William Shakespeare must have had the picture of Google’s CEO in his mind. Yet, don’t be stuck by the sudden thought that time travel might be this week’s topic. Nope. Our host Harris has designed fantastic questions for Happiers to discuss about “Privacy”. It will be a great pleasure to have Happiers again, and welcome to forward this weekly article as far and wide as possible.

Via the internet and cell phones, we have always been watched, and our online behaviors can be translated into some companies’ potential profits. In the past few weeks, I have followed some information about Jeremy Lin, and the consequence is the frequently pop- up ads related to Linsanity. (Well, in this case, I don’t mind about getting more!) We might be aware of the privacy risks we are taking every second while doing online social networking; however, Alessandro Acquisti, an Associate Professor of Information Systems and Public Policy, has investigated more about “Why privacy matters”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_pqhMO3ZSY

Happiers can be assured that we don’t have to worry about “When a private talk over a bottle of wine is broadcast on the radio, what can it mean but that the world is turning into a concentration camp?” (Milan Kundera , “The Unbearable Lightness of Being”) For this weekend, Harris’ discussion questions cast a welcoming smile in the direction of privacy issue at every life stage: when we are/ were children, spouses, and parents. We cannot afford to miss this discussion, because understanding more is the only solution to conquer any fear in life, and, for privacy invasion—no exception. By the way, despite of all the privacy concerns, Google is still irresistible--I am searching for updated news of NBA Game right now.





Best Wishes,
Jasmine
