Keywords:
Privacy, Technology, Data Protection, IllusionAbstract
With the advent of modernization and introduction of technological advances in India and abroad, we have seen that there has been an invasion of privacy which is a fundamental right under Article 21 and even as a human right. Privacy is now a universally acknowledged phenomenon and has been recognized by various countries worldwide. For instance, Americans have cared a lot for installing privacy as a generic routine in their lives in the digital landscape which is parallel to human arena. The computers have wholly taken control over human lives. Technology has advanced itself so high that now whatever we search on any search engine or maybe how we feel or think is been “heard” by the phones, computer or any gadgets which are technologically advanced. Thereby, we get recommendations about similar things. Isn’t this an invasion of privacy? Humans have absorbed technology quite well that they do not know the implications as well as they do not even realize that their privacy has been hindered. Thus, there exists a paradox. The article dives deep into how technological advances with the advent of modernity and global rise in adding of technological gadgets has invaded individual’s privacy.
