Internet has created several ways for information to spread out all over the world. In areas such as a global crisis (economics or simply news), this ability is highly useful and practical. In other areas such as online activities, it is unfortunate. One's privacy is invaded. For webpages where you can post your profile along with your pictures, anyone is able to access them, take control of them, or even keep a copy of it by simply right-clicking and selecting "Copy".
When one's information is put into the Internet, it is spread out into the network and it becomes hard to keep things secret.
Social Networks such as Facebook is an easy access for anyone random to search your information unless one's profile is set to private. However, there's always a way to get around. People somehow still manage to find their way through the system. In other terms, it becomes easy to stalk someone you saw at the grocery store by the sole informatoin of his/her full name.
Internet has given the world easy access to anything possible. In other words, anything is possible.
In Georges Orwell's 1984, he forecasts the future. The novel is simply Orwell's imaginative consequence of a world working its way up in technology, such as our world today. In his novel, technology has found a way to control society and dominate it. Privacy is no longer a virtue in Orwell's novel.
In addition, today, web companies are able to pick up our activities, interests, and online searches through surveillance on our browsing sites. For instance, if someone often checks up on fashion clothing, many of the subsequent advertisements that appear on their computer will be of fashion clothes.
