Way back in 1999, a reporter asked Scott McNealy, then the CEO of computer company Sun Microsystems, about privacy on the Internet. McNealy replied: “You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it.”

Was he right In 1999?

More important, was he right about our digital lives today?

Join Jim Campbell, host of Notes from the Electronic Cottage on WERU-FM, as we ponder what personal privacy means for us today and how how personal privacy fits, or doesn’t fit, in today’s digital world.
