Ars Technica reports on a Harris Interactive survey showing Americans’ attitudes toward being plugged in: 29 percent think it’s okay while honeymooning, 41 percent think it’s acceptable while dining with family and friends and so on.

What I found most interesting in the report is this bit that was reported over here: “79 percent of people in the United States keep files on personal computers that they don’t want family members, co-workers, employers, or friends to see, according to the survey.”

That’s an amazing statistic … especially in our “there’s no expectation of privacy left anymore” world.

Stupid question: If you don’t have an expectation of privacy, why are you “hiding” files that you don’t want family members, co-workers, employers, or friends to see?
