Hypothetically, if I were talking to a boomer with a household to take care of about the importance of privacy, this is how I think he'd reply:
'Companies that I buy electrical appliances from would want to know where I live so that they can send their support staff in case technical assistance is required.
The distributor I buy electricity from will want to know where I live and what my power consumption is.
People who lend to me would want to know what my financials are to assess if I'll pay them back.
People who fix my phones and computers would have to get access to my system. I have to trust them not to mess about.
Law enforcement will need to track those who have stolen my property to retrieve my stuff.
In all the cases above, it's my choice to give up my private data in order to get what I want. I have to trust people not to misuse what they know but that's the risk I'm taking and I'm aware of it. I don't see anything wrong with that.'
