Giving away my privacy?

One of the things that I have been thinking about lately is just how much of my personal life I'm making available online. Is it a problem? I don't think so, but it could be.

I'm not just talking about this blog or our flickr page. Gmail and google calendar are both services that I use. At what point should I start worrying about a great deal of things in my life documented and stored by a relative few companies? At this point I feel that I am too much like 99.99% of everyone else for any government or big corporation to care about me individuality. To those entities I'm only important as a statistic.

Maybe the current definition of privacy is outdated and the concerns that I have are just a relic from an old way of thinking.

The question that keeps on nagging at my mind is this: will I only care when it's too late to do anything about it?
