In all honesty, it has become difficult to protect the privacy of smartphones both while surfing the internet as well as while offline in recent times. With the vast expansion of social media and networking coupled with all of the laws that have been written down to help manage the internet, and with search engines that use advanced technology, it has become possible to track down people easily.

In a post Pondering Homejoy’s failure a former employee wrote (emphasis mine): At Homejoy a lot of us, myself included, got drunk under the majestic startupville spell. The hangover was rough. The swirling tales of companies that had found success circumventing basic business principals had taken root.

This chart above is from a new World Economic Forum report, Deep Shift: Technology Tipping Points and Societal Impact , predicts 21 dates in the future when previously unimaginable innovations will enter our daily lives, transforming the way we live and the way communities and governments function. And after perusing the report, I couldn’t help but think that the results focused too deeply on technological capabilities rather than social and economic incentive.

To that end, I’ve recently shifted the community efforts I’m involved in to be more focused on the things I’m passionate about and where I can personally make the most impact.

I love teaching (Although I hate grading, but that’s why I invested in Gradescope. More on that some other time). Every time I interact with students, I find myself repeating the same contrarian advice to them over and over again.
