The Washington Post has an interesting story about a seeming disconnect between people who are more concerned about their privacy and at the same time are more connected than ever: “We set up motion detectors in our homes.

The reality, the story says, is convenient … and “a little terrifying.” And the question is how much privacy people are willing to sacrifice for convenience.
