We all know that our opinions on what to expose and what to conceive has changed over time. Consequently, people used specific methods to convey something private so it is understood by few or only one intended individual.<\/p>\n

\"Privacy<\/a><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take the Baroque \u00e9poque as an example. This was a time when hidden meanings, hints and allegories were a typical part of one\u2019s conversation. Then a work of art would contain messages and signs which were clear to only one individual whom the message was intended for. Once a person is gone, no one would be able to decipher the message and uncover its meaning.<\/p>\n

Digital messages are by nature indestructible and can be published and duplicated instantly. But you are well able to transform the messages in a way they are clear exclusively to select people in a certain context. In an era when everything has gone public, this could be an efficient way to preserve your privacy.<\/p>\n

The world can see your bathroom selfie or your very private message on the social networks and think your life is absolutely exposed, transparent, and public. However, no one really knows what exactly you are feeling<\/b> when you do or post something online. Emotions are what makes your personality unique when you communicate with other people.<\/p>\n

I see an emerging trend of individually decoded symbols in our online talk. As we now have no means of completely abandoning online communication \u2013 however, I think the probability of new \u2018online luddites\u2019 may well be high enough <\/em> \u2014 the necessary extent of privacy would be achievable through the use of relatively isolated communication systems.<\/p>\n
