People are stupid to put so much information on the internet, so they will get what they ask for. Even banking on the internet isn't safe there is to many people ho can hack into anything which could cost you money down the line.
Our life is a show because people want it that way, they get to have their picture and hold life for everyone to see thinking I am great.
