Internet is like candy. There is only one small condition. Before getting his personal e-address, each child will have to fill out a form providing his home address and his date of birth. Undoubtedly, the above case is a worrisome one because children and young adults are much less reluctant to deliver personal information than their parents, especially when there is a promised gift at the end. However, the privacy problem does not only concern children but all Web users.
Internet constitutes an enigma.
If all Web sites are trying to get the most personal data possible from their users, it is officially to maximize clients' satisfaction. Yet, the way that most Web sites use such data is disturbing more and more of these clients. According to a recent University of California survey, almost two-thirds of the Web users consider the Internet as dangerous to their privacy. If nothing is done, further development of the Internet will be in danger. Thus, most people are averse to using their credit card on the Web.
