Technology is more for the younger generation, right? At least that is what the elderly say. It would make more sense that young people would be more concerned with their privacy than ever because of online data sharing. Young people seem to be less concerned with their privacy because of their enthusiasm for social media sites like facebook, twitter, and instagram. In actuality they are concerned just not when it come to strangers. The more followers the better. People exposing their personal lives like this has led to job loss or prevention due to inappropriate posting that could have been prevented. As individuals grow older in age group, they are more concerned with their privacy. This is due to them becoming aware of the dangers of giving away important information.
