Have you ever use your smartphone to take a picture? In most of the smartphone, there has a function ‘location’. This function used to locate the place where you take the photos, it would show on the phone album. It was a great idea to remind you where you took those photos and seems like a useful function, but it had already disclosed your privacy while running those work.
In 21 century, people talks about privacy, ‘privacy is very important, someone would spot our profile, hacker would hack into our account and stole our identity, but who really know how to protect our personal information? In most of the social networking site provide mobile application service,user can upload their status through their smart device. User can easy generate their own content on their site. For example, people like to take video and upload on Youtube, it is a trend that people love to take ‘arguing’ moment, uploaded it and discuss whether it is right or wrong. Obviously, people argue by themselves, but why we notice they were arguing and we can wildly discuss on the sites? It was because mobile technology start changing our behavior from passive to active, hence that the boundary of private and public place become blur.
In the past, before smartphone was invented, elder usually told us not to take out our phone in the public place. Since smartphone had become popular, everyone use their phone on bus, mtr. This phenomenon occurred due to the multi-function of phone, it can communicate with friend far from other countries, take photos. People can do everything that they used to be doing at home. Hence that the dividing line of private and public place were blurred.

Dear Tsz Ching, Your approach to the issue is correct. Examples are properly used. In your forthcoming writing (e.g. for the portfolio), the details of the example can be included to make the discussion more substantial.
