'Nothing to Hide' - many peoples think this way, but for friends i was always trying to explain why privacy is important, why should you use anti virus and firewall, and do not leak data to Internet my main arguments:

1. You're computer might be in use for spam or hacking banks and governments sites. 2. Data leak - credit cards, accounts, and main - personal information. 3. In Ukraine we have joke - Facebook.com - let your wife meet your lovers. 4. From your info it is possible to find info on your friends.

And this is for people who have nothing to hide.

Questions of privacy in Internet is a big problem. But privacy should be privacy, not anonymity.

As for cameras on streets... In future we will have no chance to hide. Nothing.
