\section{Opening Our Black Box}
\textit{Biondi} in her presentation makes another last point, saying that a program of global surveillance through bulk data collection may put at risk the and violate the most intimate part of a person, the essence of the human being. As said in the introduction it is really difficult to define what we mean by essence of a person, but what we are referring to here is in fact what we may define the black box of ourself, that part of the inner person that would never be possible to share with the others, what in fact represent what we are and what we feel as human beings.\\
She indeed says that if we accept to open that \textbf{black box}, we may ultimately loose what defines us as humans. We would loose the ability to have control over the relationships that we have with each other.
And I find a really deep link with the work of \textit{Rachels} \cite{privacyimportant} and of \textit{Eggers} in this conclusion.
If we continue bringing to the extreme this openness towards the world, if we accept that there are no boundaries in private information, we really risk to arrive in the situation depicted by \textit{Rachels} in which we would have a flattening of all the interactions. We would be no more able to decide what we are, we would be only a \textbf{copy} of what data tells about us.\\
And what about the relation that we have with \textbf{ourselves}? What if for the fear of influencing the data copy of ourselves we are forced to behave in a way that is not what we are, what we feel? We would never have a second chance in anything, we would be too tightly bound to the past, we would ultimately loose our free will. We would not even be able to search for something on a search engine without the fear that maybe 20 years from now that thing could be used against us.\\
We would not be able to be honest and sincere with our inner self, and at that point what really makes us humans? What separates one individual from the rest of the world?
Are we really sure that we want to completely open our black box to the world?
