+Sun Microsystems chief executive officer Scott McNealy famously said in January 1999, “You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it.”
+At the time many people were shocked and outraged over Scott McNealy's remarks. As the CEO of the powerful computer company Sun Microsystems, McNealy was simply setting the level of expectations.

+Do you think things are any better nearly two decades later? Any post you have ever made to an online forrum or social media website has the potential to be stored somewhere.
+Many people will tell you to use VPNs or suggest various anonymizers in an attempt to make your activity on the Internet untraceable. I must really be cynical, because I wouldn't trust my life on that assumption,  no system is fool proof.

+The cell phones in our pockets, even the cars we drive, monitor our every movement.  Cameras in the city record us as we walk the streets. Many highways and city intersections have traffic cameras that record us as we drive in our cars.
+Schools, hospitals, just about every public building, have some type of surveillance system that record our movements inside a building.  Companies like Google send robot driven cars through our streets to take pictures of our homes so some stalker can check out the layout of our neighborhood with pictures of our house on Google maps.
+There are many resources that you can find to learn how to live "off the grid,"  where you blend in with your surroundings, and no one knows you exist. It becomes a  lifestyle that most people cannot maintain. Ted Kaczynski, the domestic terrorist known as the Unabomber, was living off the grid in a small remote cabin he had built outside Lincoln, Montana. The government eventually caught up with him.
+Yes, I think Scott McNealy's remarks are quite appropriate,  “You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it.”
