Digital Footprints

People are constantly tethered to technology - technology that helps them communicate with each other. This constant ability to interact, ensures that they are able to maintain, or build social capital. Tools like cell phones and digital cameras, and the means of distribution – the Internet – has enabled them to instantly capture and share the world for posterity. This has caused the loss of privacy, which has given rise to several online privacy and/or identity management companies.

Potential sources:
Online policy makers/analysts
Random people on social networking sites
People from online privacy management companies
