Privacy's Murder Mystery

A large part of the problem isn’t just around the “Is privacy dead?” discussion but it also revolves around the fact that even if the majority of the world’s population decided that it was time to do something about privacy where would we even start and how effective would a “solution” be?

It starts with us fools. Use your headphones, let the other person read a book in silence, DO NOT PUT YOUR NOSE INTO THEIR BOOK, JUST ASK IF YOU WISH TO. When speaking to a person, regardless of the age / gender, maintain some space! Do not regard others articles as your own, ask, just ask before you use theirs. And gentlemen, if you put your hands inside a woman's bag, all unsolicited, you're by all means putting yourself into trouble / awkward situation. Also, you might be an amazing singer and we might be sharing same rooms / means of transport etc. But that doesn't mean you're allowed to rehearse those chords, this ain't your concert. If we're going to a restaurant together, please let the food be served in our eating plates. Do not start eating from the main serving, that's neither mine nor yours. Also, do not make noise while walking, your footsteps don't sound all that melodious, trust me!

And last but not the least, don't keep touching others unnecessarily, and don't be extra loud, unless you're up for the elections. Your work is to speak, not to make others listen, that's on their shoulders.

So is privacy dead? It sure seems that way, and we are the ones who killed it without even knowing it.
