AT Survey: Privacy? Who Cares?

Inside the bedroom is no longer a secret, according to the cover article in this week's New Yorker magazine. Apparently a generational shift is happening as we speak, wherein the young-uns could care less about privacy and like to expose it all, whereas the old-uns still feel their privacy is sacrosanct.

Isn't there a halfway/combo way of being? For instance, I'm not into covering my windows and could care less about being physically "exposed." However, discretion and personal privacy is important to me. Very sensitive w/ respect to information I make available online.

it's also "couldn't care less" instead of "could care less".

i haven't read the article so i don't know if it answers this question or not: why do these people assume that they are so fascinating and that total strangers want to read about them?
