Response to Joe Elias

You talk about respecting other people’s privacy, especially when it comes to email. And how someone would feel if they knew someone else was reading their personal emails. With today’s technology almost anything you do nowadays on the internet can be looked at. Either by your work monitoring your computer, or hackers breaking into it. People should realize anything they do or say could come back to bite them. Do you think people should be expressing such personal information through email if they don’t want someone else reading it?

I think that if people are overly concerned about people reading their mail then the information they don't want to get out should probably not be shared with anyone or if it must be shared the the safest way to get the information only to those people would be by word of mouth. I don't think that there is really anyway to make sure that what you share, either by mouth, by writing, or by electronic media, will remain private. If it needs to stay private then don't tell anyone!!
