A small decade ago everyone became crazy about "Big Brother" editions on TV

at that time We're looking daily into the life of somebody else

I guess that people in general never had lesser privacy than these days ... and I think, that fact gonna increase into the upcoming years

As human being We are still living into a house behind close doors ... but in fact all windows are wide open ;)
