The Digital Umbrella capitalizes on the recent trends in the technology landscape, all of which have been widely covered in the national media. This book will present the user with a common language, no nonsense approach to describe how technology is eroding personal privacy. The issue will be explored from different perspectives such as how personal privacy is being diminished, what the government is doing about it, and, most importantly, how to protect oneself from privacy intrusions. Privacy threats both at the home and the workplace will be explored in detail.
