Privacy? Security?

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

A lot of time and money is spent to find the right solutions for companies to protect their data and keep them secure.

Since yesterday I have a very different outlook on it. What happened? I had to run an agenda and had to wait with a few others in line. Right next to me was a young man—busy on his Bluetooth. Within five minutes I knew that he thought very badly of his x-wife; was more than once at traffic court, and had—so far—always talked his way out of getting his license suspended. Still, he kept on speeding and collects tickets like collectibles… But most bothersome was that he talked so loud that you could hear him at least a block away!

Most of this information I would consider very private—yet you can see (and obviously hear) that most phone addicts have a different opinion.

Just imagine the damage employees can do to business—when they are as ignorant as this young man is.

Maybe it is time to rethink the whole approach how we keep information private and secure.

How many calls do you make in public?

And what do you talk about?

Do you think what you talk about is private?
