I guess it's just my experience with my generation as to what privacy means. I don't understand why people feel it necessary to go onto a public site and talk about every detail of their lives where everybody can see private things? Just like Craigslist where people go on their to take advantage of others it's the same on FB, My Space or whatever new thing is coming. I often ask myself as to why people feel they can't be alone with their thoughts without constantly having to text, be on a cell phone, etc.

unfortunately, the "younger" generation doesn't know what it is to be alone with their thoughts. they have been stuck in front of a tv while their parents are busy. they have dvd players in cars so they'll be quiet and not bother their parents while driving. (lord knows you wouldn't want to play the alphabet game or look for out of state license plates). and play outside....are you kidding. get on that video game quick. don't use your imagination.
ugh.....get off my lawn.

I'm afraid it's not the kids that don't understand privacy...look at who we've put in charge of our country. Clearly the majority of the population is content having someone tell them what to do and how to do it.

This is exactly me view on it. I do not post anything I do not want others to know (and even then, I have any and all privacy locks up to today).

The benefits of getting car-sick: I can only chat whilst on a trip. Or drive. Or sleep.
