Reading text 01: Lack of Privacy

Everyone agrees that privacy is a human being's priceless right. But.

nowadays, it is getting more and more difficult to have it.
Computers, eletronic toll booths, credit cards, mobile phones and cash
machines are all realted to lack of privacy, because they help people and
the state trace your movements. Remember, they are always watching
you!
Use cash when you can; do not give your phone number, social security number or address, unless you
absolutely have to; do not fill in questionnaires or respond to telemarketers; keep your phone number unlisted;
never use eletronic toll booths on roads, never leave your mobile phone on - your movements can be traced; do
not use credit cards; be careful with the Internet. Does this sound paranoite to you? In fact, it is the advice
offered by today's privacy campaigners. (Adapted from Speek Up, March 2000)
