    A growing number of Americans are seeing the accumulation and distribution of computerized data as a frightening invasion of their privacy.(44)Surveys show that the number of worried Americans has been steadily growing over the years as the computer becomes increasingly efficient, easier to operate, and less costly to purchase and maintain. In 1970, a national survey showed that(45)37 percent of the people questioned felt their privacy was being invaded. Seven years later, 47 percent expressed the same worry.(46)A recent survey by a credit bureau revealed that the number of alarmed citizens had soared up to 76 percent.
