Privacy is important in an age of irrational corporate momentum, frivolous lawsuits and governmental witch hunts. Privacy is important, in fact, in any age, because even when you're not up to anything sneaky there are people who might remember your youthful indiscretions and use them against you. Or someone whose beliefs differ from yours might find reason to make your life 'interesting' in a very negative fashion.
It's also a lot of fun, like sending coded messages to friends in class. PGP is free, and it works. There are PGP plugins for most popular emailers. Check out google for answers to your questions.
