Space to Grow

People need space to grow: personal space, emotional space, physical space. Privacy is considered one of the spaces that everyone needs. With the up-tide of the technology, all the self expressive means of internet connections like myspace or YouTube or Facebook and even regular blogging has come together to reduce the privacy of a person. The virtual imaginary boundary of personal and public property has been fading away. It is happening globally in different means. Our DNAs, in addition to finger prints, are taken as imprint to track us. For example, Japan is one of the countries initiating to take prints of the in-coming visiting foreigners. IP addresses, credit cards, bank accounts, school IDs can all track back to a person's traces of life. Today blogging is like mini-biographies to me. How much space we should give away? How much space we should maintain as a private events of life, so that we can still have some more space to grow?
