In my own personal point of view I think that we no longer have privacy just by reading articles from newspapers, watching the news and reading news of the internet.

For example read this article :
If you're a U.S. citizen, as of today you now have a medical identification number.

Then there is also the CCTV systems to me this is more like the ultimate peeping tom tool that any operator could easily abuse. But of course government and private organizations will say but it's for your own good. Now I wonder how is a CCTV system for my own good ? How will it benefit my life knowing that when I walk down the street someone behind that camera is watching me pretty much for a long time.

And of course there is RFID chips.

As for a lot of those who probably think that using regular money will ensure your privacy well maybe you should rethink that thought.
The European Central Bank may embed RFID chips in the euro note.Ostensibly to combat counterfeiters and money-launderers, it would also enable banks to count large amounts of cash in seconds. Unfortunately, such a move would also makes it possible for governments to track the passage of cash from individual to individual. "
Sure cash is still a great way to at least have a little bit of anonymity but I doubt that will last for a very long time.

I guess the only way to truly have Privacy is to go out into the wild and live there forever no electronics and the sort but I doubt that will keep you from peoples prying eyes.

Sounds like a great future doesn't it ?:
Once you buy your RFID-tagged jeans at The Gap with RFID-tagged money, walk out of the store wearing RFID-tagged shoes, and get into your car with its RFID-tagged tires, you could be tracked anywhere you travel.
