11:00 AM Privacy is Dead: Do We or Don't We Care about Our Personal Data? Anyone other than a few cranky government officials and people care about privacy? For all the press about it, millions of people give it away on a daily basis in exchange for a wide range of free services. Is this a real issue or just something that gets lip service? And will persistent sensing apps make people rethink what personal information they are putting out there or will social networks and others selling our info to advertisers finally cross the line? Do we care?
