So why do we need privacy?

We can talk all day about the new biometric law.
But there’s a difference between a dumb idea that gives the government the entire control over something it can’t understand, and judge people by it

[Framing has never been so easy], and what I’m talking about which is the entire Information Evolution.
The Question then remains:
What is the relativity of Privacy in our future?
As we see the Internet growing, Social Networks thriving and our entire lives scattered to everyone to see,
How far are we really from not being able to do anything privately ?
We were conditioned to think that some things a person must do privately, whether it’s going to the bathroom,
sleeping, having sex or just writing our diary, we were taught as children to keep some things private.
Though it is understandable that people could be concerned when their privacy get’s invaded,
is it really problematic when the entire concept of privacy is not relevant?
I can find a big problem with the current social mechanism, of exploiting to gain power,
how a person could use this lack of privacy to exploit other people’s weaknesses (though it happens today, all the time).
But what if we were to not need power, what if we had sufficient resources for the well-being of the entire human race?
Would we bothered by someone invading our privacy?
In a reality where he can’t use that to exploit us, and everyone else is just like us.
I believe that when you take privacy away, in the current state,
It scares people, and frankly, I understand why.
Institutes and Corporations, Criminals and Governments exploit every portion of privacy that’s taken away from you.
Though as a general idea, in a better time, in a better state of events,
Privacy is Irrelevant .
It only divides us.
