Nothing in this world has been done without purpose, and when we have the change to choose our way, we must realize that there would be no perfect way. If you are the nice guy and try to please everybody, other people would push you. This means, that if you want to listen to other people's opinions every time, I'm sure, that this road is giving you the job, where everybody believes, that they are better than you. Or you can sometimes say something against your bosses, and they would kick you off the work.


This is the thing, what would happen to you, but after that, you are free to go.  And if you follow always the advice, that you should not publish any information about yourself, or somebody would laugh at you, I must say one thing, those persons who want to say something about the publications might want to hide their identities, because they are some kind of computer security gurus, but when I'm hearing that kind of thing, I must ask you, what things do you need to hide?


Do you have some kind of firearms, or are you in some kind of witness protection program? We are all adult persons, and we all make our own decisions about this kind of things, and here I must say that people might guess, why hiding the identity is so important for some persons. If some person claims that he is just one "poor country boy", there will be little embarrassing, if there would see expensive stereos or firearms, and the man is some kind of prisoner. I once read one book, what tells about some hobbies


There was one clause, what I just remembered: The secrecy is for people, who have something to hide. If the person would have nothing to hide, why that person wants to be without identity? Do you believe, that this would not draw attention if the person would not have mobile telephones or official address? This kind of things is very nice when we are reading them from some spy books, or sees them in the movies like "Terminator". But in the real life, this kind of things would be very striking, because almost every person in the world has mobile telephones.


When we are talking about the "gurus" what are introduced in the public media, we must be critical and dare to ask about "how many writings have they made on the Internet about their skills?". When we are talking about confessing writings, we should understand that almost everybody can go to media, and say "hey guys, I'm guru". This might seem attractive, but we would like to know, what makes this person "the guru"?


If we think that this person is the leader of some big company, all the works, what are made in those companies they would be made by other persons, and this "guru" could be the financial leader or the training of that person might be the lawyer. That means that this person might be over the top on the own area, but this would not make this person any security specialist. None of the press writings are made, without the purpose, and when we are thinking about the situation, that every person should follow every instruction, we must realize that those devices are given for some reasons, and they are given to persons, who have something to hide. This is the thoughts about privacy and the social media.
