You know, I tend to agree with most of your sentiment. Problem is, the way certain industries work now, you can't do things offline. Even applying for a job became an online affair. You can't just walk in somewhere, drop off a resume and business card and sit and wait. Now it's email this, email that.
These days it's hard to go about life without putting your personal information somewhere, and to what extent?
Now if you mean equating being private, to leaving your affairs private then that's different. Everything you choose to share, you choose to share. It's all on the person.
but again, if you wanna get on technical, some people don't need to know all of your info to find where you live. There are programs and scripts that can identify someone's IP address and thus discover someone's location based off of that information alone. That's all you really need to call swat on someone.
