Hi Iren. In an increasingly mobile information society, location has become a new commodity giving rise to technologies such as wireless cell phones, global positioning systems (GPS), radio-frequency ID (RFID), and geographic information systems (GIS). Location technologies make visible an individual’s movements and activities, revealing patterns of behavior that are not possible without the use of this technology. In a typical day’s activities – using a debit card, an electronic toll pass, an automobile’s GPS navigation system, and a cell phone – information about one’s location can be tracked and stored in many ways. The desire to protect this information is called location privacy. While much literature focuses on informational and relational privacy, locational privacy, is less well studied. Communication tools, transactional cards, personal locator and navigational systems, radio frequency identification devices, and surveillance cameras all have the capability to provide information about one’s location and behavior. In particular, geospatial technologies, such as global positioning systems (GPS) and geographic information systems (GIS), are powerful in their scope and capability to converge locational and tracking technologies. Geographic information systems (GIS) aggregate data and information from multiple sources including satellite, aerial, and infrared imagery, geodetic information, and “layered” attribute information (such as property records). These aggregates of data, like data mining systems, create collected bits of information that generate valuable and powerful profiles of objects.

I think that modern technologies violate human privacy since the moment you've started to use such devices like phone, mobile phone, users of which can be easily traced, internet, where your personal information can be accessible. So it's up to you either to use those technologies carefully and be ready for anything or refuse them and live in a jungle :D (kidding)

Hello Iren, Talking about the internet specifically I don't think so , because there are always "privacy settings" ,users are free to disclose themselves as much as they want. Users can watermark their pictures as well for more safety. When you post your pictures anywhere on photobucket , flickr or other you have agreed implicitly to disclose that amount of privacy for almost anyone who have access to this site. So it is your choice in that case. Doing any transactions , banking or any other purchases online usually guarantee the user their own privacy. As for other modern technologies in general ,yes there might be violations to human privacy.
