The focus of my post is the concept that "culture always pays a price for technology." Privacy is at a new low; with technology controlling finances, personal information, conversations, and ideology, there is less personal privacy than ever. For example, when tracking status updates, searches, and friendship interaction, a social media site may know as much personal information about a user as the closest friends of that person. Stealing money or identity is no longer a business of physical stealth, it has become a game of mental stealth and ability to manipulate technology. The cultural price of the 21st century from the revolution of social media is the same as its benefit--information is more accessible than ever.
