I’m told that in the cramped apartments of South Korea and Japan, in particular, family members like to pop off to a corner with their mobile device.
But: In the article and podcast I was talking mostly about “sharing” technologies, as opposed to one-t0-one media such as emailing, texting, calling. In the latter, the information is between you and somebody of your choosing (unless that person gossips). On FlickR, Twitter, MySpace etc etc, the information is between you and …. well, anybody.

However, some of the new technologies help guard individual privacy, particularly that of individual family members against the nosiness of other members in that family.

Think of cell phones and e-mails. Now, each member of a family can get mail and phone calls without the other members of the family knowing about them.

This, in itself, can lead to other problems, and it doesn’t take much imagination to surmise what these are.
