As time goes by we are becoming more conscious of assessing matters of our personal privacy with regard to on-line websites such as twitter and facebook. In today's world we should turn our minds towards various other modern products and how these might impact our reputation and feelings.
Imagine if your camera was to reveal the most intimate details of your love life despite your sure knowledge that you had deleted the private photographs and videos that you had have taken? You could have heard the story of the guy who sold his camera in a backyard sale only to have previously erased 'bedroom' images exposed and displayed to his community.
Facebook has personal privacy settings. We could modify them and limit, to some degree, who can see our photographs and personal information. But have you ever considered your digital camera? Modern cameras are more than just image recording gadgets. Some can record sound and video along with still images. Lots of modern cameras can record location info through the use of Global Positioning Satellites.
What numerous individuals have no idea about is that the portable memory cards that fit inside cameras do not erase the photos you've taken when you press the 'Erase' button (or whatever it's called your camera).
When you press the button on your camera that you think is erasing your photographs, the image is not erased at all. What actually happens is that the camera marks the area of the memory card as being ready for reuse. The image is not shown to you as you scroll through your albums however it does stay on the memory card. How long it will stay there depends on how often you use your camera and how big your card is but until it's overwritten free software could be used to get the image back again.
For the majority of individuals this is great - the time saved in operating this way makes operating a modern digital camera less painful as it could be. For a significant minority though there's a potentially catastrophic problem. Many couples, single teenagers and people who should know better enhance their sex lives by taking photos and videos of themselves doing private things. White contained these images rarely cause problems. But consider what happens if these images are discovered by pals, siblings or bosses? What if they show up on facebook?
Looking after our on-line privacy is something we have to become more wise about. The realities of our world is forcing this upon us. Figuring out the best ways to safely erase images and videos from a camera memory card is just one of the skills modern day, experimental humans have to master.
