You are now property of Facebook

It appeared quite shocking to me when today while I was watching TV in my lounge, a report on BBC showed how ingeniously the owners and CEO of Facebook devised a plan to own any person’s identity and personal information that might have been posted on the site.

Facebook has just recently added to the Terms & Conditions that all activities, photos or any and every kind of personal information etc that any user of Facebook might have posted may be used in any way that they deemed fit.

Facebook's New Terms Of Service: We Can Do Anything We Want With Your Content. Forever.

This has brought an immense shock on the internet users today to let lose any information open on the cyberspace. Most users fear that their personal information on Facebook could create a great loss of privacy as it contains events of their everyday lives. Whether it is their going to a concert, a seminar, any event, signing of any petitions or most importantly their photo albums where they put pictures of their own and allow or disallow it to be used or seen by any other person. All these pieces of information together seem to be of immense importance.

The main idea behind this strategy by Facebook seems to be to get data which could be provided or sold to organizations in the form of leads so that they could easily advertise on Facebook to their target audience.

In lieu of these Terms & Conditions more than over 18000 users have deleted their accounts already and more are on their way. But to their notice I would like to mention that they may not be sure if their information has been removed anyways as due to facebook’s rights copies of such data could be used and already circulated in the open.

Lasik Eye Surgery for Short Sightedness

In today’s world staying slim and smart has turned into an obsession for many. Each one of us wants to look beautiful and physically fit throughout their life. No one would like the idea of walking around with crutches in their prime years or asking others to help them around. Such is the case with wearing glasses which many people did not recognize some years back.

In recent times, more and more people seem to be concerned with maintaining their twenty-twenty eye sight. They do not want to be seen around with glasses and contact lenses. They may suit to some, but to many they seem to be a potentially unwanted ornament like hearing aids and crutches. For people like these there seems to be a way out for improving their eye-sight, known as Lasik Eye Surgery.

Lasik Eye surgery is a process, in which those individuals with an impaired vision have their corneas replaced. This surgery is indeed one very complex task as it involves handling one of the most delicate tissues in the eye that is just beneath the cornea. In this process an expert eye surgeon (ophthalmologist) makes use of a knife to make an incision in the cornea to replace a precise tissue that causes short-sightedness. Pulses from an exciter laser are then used to make some minute modifications in this clear covering of the eye.

This surgery is not exactly time consuming but may really lighten up your pocket if you do not have medical insurance. The operation costs somewhere around $4000 due to the advanced and expensive equipment used. But after all the process may be worthwhile as in only a matter of a few days you may be carrying out your regular activities.

Before you go for a full surgery, it is advisable to consult doctors to see if you are fit for it and also which surgeon to choose. Consider visting Stahl Eye Center for expert consultancy if you too are residing in the U.S.
