Is Privacy a Thing of the Past?

Politics written by Doug Scott

Is Privacy a Thing of the Past?

I’ll track you down…………………..

Personal privacy is definitely a thing of the past, no question about it and to some extent we are all masters of our own decline. But before we look at current attitudes towards privacy, we need to look back and complete a little history lesson.

In the ‘olden days’ people lived quite isolated lives, they knew people in their locality, they did not have phones, TV or internet connections. Even travel was difficult because people had to walk to where they wanted to go or save enough to catch a train.

Then with the arrival of the 20^th Century we all embrace technology and the conveniences it offered. Now we have entertainment at home, we can telephone anyone we want to and by the end of the Century, email throughout the world instantly!

Then more and more information became available on the internet. Now instead of having to think ‘I wonder what happened to Johnny Jones?’ and wondering how his life had shaped up, we can simply type Johnny Jones into Yahoo or Google and, while it may take some sifting through, we can actually find out what happened to the said Mr Jones. And if he and also has a site in Facebook or MySpace, we may be able to find out a lot about him (and he about you).

But there is a sense that many of the things that people write in Facebook or MySpace, Bebo etc will actually come back to haunt them. As recently as 2007, a survey of employers revealed that many look in social networking sites and assess the suitability of a candidate against their entries on the sites. So if you have entered your hobbies as decapitating worms or getting hideously drunk every night: beware, this may well come back to haunt you.

You may be able to change your Facebook entries, but what about entries that you have made with regard to other people’s entries, since you have little control over them, can they come back to haunt you?

People seem to have embraced the technological advances of the internet and ‘ease of communication’ without thinking about the implications. Before if we wanted to track someone down, a private detective had to be hired, or at least some really hard work, on our part, to find them. Now it can be done in three clicks of a mouse (sometimes more sometimes less).

Add in to this scenario the fact that the UK now has more surveillance cameras than any other country, along with powers that have been vested in local authorities as part of the ‘war on terror’ and you can see that we no longer have any privacy and many people who felt that they wanted to share their intimate details with the world when they were 20, may live to regret it when they are 40, trying for senior management posts and have children to consider. Yes, privacy may no longer be around, but we really have to accept much of the responsibility for this situation ourselves.

Myers Briggs Personality Test – Put people in boxes – profile them

other written by Doug Scott

Did you know the world the Myers-Briggs test is the most widely used for the testing of personality types. Isabel Briggs Myers and her mother, Katharine Cook Briggs came up with the test during the Second World War and their intention was to assist women who were getting into employment in industry for the first time to single out the occupations where they would fit in well. I thought they served:)

With the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, one can be classified according to four preferences. These four preferences include one’s degree of introversion or extraversion, whether one concentrates on information being received from their imagination or senses, whether one makes decisions based on emotion or careful thought and whether one is a perceiving or a judging person. Hence there are 16 different personality types.

Profiling of staff has its pros and cons. The good side of it is that it is relatively fast to implement since the same content is used regardless of job description. This fact alone also makes it relatively inexpensive. n the other hand, the fact that one assessment is used for a variety of job descriptions makes it too generic and it could miss out on specifics that may not be important in one job but which are critical in another.

Another criticism levelled against employee profiling is the fact that the benchmark profile is set based on employees who have already performed in the job role but when this is then used to judge a candidate who may not have had such particular experience, they may be locked out unfairly. Also being a high performer could be resulting from factors that the assessment does not take into account, thereby rendering the whole assessment useless unless of course other tools are brought into play.

That said profiling can be a very useful tool. When an organisation needs to implement an assessment method at short notice or when the position for which an assessment method is required for is highly mainstream, this type of profiling will be just the thing to help employers make their selection.

Looking for a consultant

Affiliate Money Grabbers written by Doug Scott

I just thought I would give a prod for Keith Budden as I met him last week.

If you are looking for someone who will tell you the truth about affiliate marketing, then say hello to Keith.

He told me he was so surprised that so many people wanted to talk to him about them helping him. Keith don’t be surprised…..in the valley of the blind the one eyed man is king. In this world there are many blind people and very few like you have 2 eyes.

He is based in the South so if you are looking for London jobs then give Keith a call

Doug didn’t get paid for this either, but Keith better buy him a beer:)
