I suspect privacy is a very new concept to humanity.
I think we live in a world where the most important thing is daily life: sharing a space with your family, making meals, being with your people. It's not only the idea of privacy, it's the beauty of the moment, at a time in the world when everything goes really fast - too fast.

Privacy under what circumstance? Privacy at home under what circumstances? You have more privacy if everyone's illiterate, but you wouldn't really call that privacy. That's ignorance.
I am of mixed minds about the issue of privacy. On one hand, I understand that information is power, and power is, well, power, so keeping your private information to yourself is essential - especially if you are a controversial figure, a celebrity, or a dissident.

There's always a sense that people will do things quite differently if they think they have privacy.
I think privacy is important, and it's important you don't bore people with your own boring self.
The virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one's own family.
