Privacy (along with chivalry) is dead


People constantly complain that chivalry is dead, but I think the real issue here is privacy.  The spread of gossip and lies has reached another level thanks to the piece of technology we turn to almost every second of the day: social media.

People constantly post status', wall posts, and pictures to Facebook.  People like to say their lives are on Facebook.  In a way, this is true.  People can see who you're friends with, what you did last weekend, and who you're talking to in a matter of seconds.  However, it's easy to get the wrong idea on Facebook, too.  Each individual wall post or status is just a tidbit of information that can easily be taken out of context.  All too often, this is where rumors and lies get started.
