Read Chapter 2 - on page 87 and answer 2.11

To start off, even though most telephone directories do not allow a reverse directory feature, you can search on Google and find websites that will have the reverse directory feature. I think because you can go online, type in any person’s phone number and find out any information about them is the biggest invasion of privacy. This impacts people in everyway, hacking would have the worst impact on people. Hackers can find out information about you, get your credit card number, and even your bank account information. I think the government should make a policy to protect everyone’s personal information on the web. LAN lines, cell phone numbers, they all can be accessed online; it should not be that way. Cell phones have health related issues. According to http://www.askmen.com/sports/health_60/72_mens_health.html it says that cell phones could cause brain cancer. But no health issues have been seen yet so I don’t know if the facts are true or not. Old School directories have been used by companies, organizations, government officials, and even private investigators according to http://www.reversephonedetective.com/articles/reversetelephonedirectory.htm . They where used for advertising, crimes, government issues.
