#Privacy is not just about today. Privacy is largely about years from today.

And nobody knows what's going to happen years into the future.

That's something that I think a lot of people continue to miss.

Some piece of information that was completely innocent, say, in 2021, might become a serious threat in 2025.

Who will have access to that information? How will the social context change? What will the legal environment be?

Why does it take soooo long???

The internet of things

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you’re doing a good job, you have a nice butt, and your enemies deserve to perish.

"Hard times are coming when we'll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We'll need writers who can remember freedom-poets, visionaries-realists of a
larger reality." - Ursula Le Guin
