Matrix van ’s werelds meest afschuwelijke beroepen

Posted by on apr 5, 2011

“Think your job sucks? Well, consider yourself lucky to be pushing that pencil, or even performing the odd menial, mildly degrading task or two. You could have been a Viking Egg-Collector in Scotland circa the year 900, where you probably would have died long before you ever got promoted to Viking Egg-Manager. Or you could have been a factory worker in China, you know, last year.”

Bibliotheken kunnen een rol spelen in netwerkprivacy

Posted by on apr 4, 2011

Het gebrek van kennis van netwerkprivacy is Cory Doctorow een doorn in het oog, zeker nu kinderen en jongeren opgroeien met de gedachte dat het vrijgeven van persoonlijke gegevens een normale zaak is. Hij ziet hierin onder andere een rol weggelegd voor bibliotheken en stelt een aantal radicale stappen voor om hierin een rol te spelen. Een voordracht naar mijn hart.

So I would like to propose a radical solution to this problem: Let’s turn our libraries, schools and other institutions into islands of networked privacy best practices. Let’s teach our kids to encrypt everything they do on the internet. Let’s teach them to jailbreak every device that they handle. Let’s teach kids to use the best products for their privacy, even when big companies don’t want them to install software on their phone, tablet or laptop. […] Teach them to bust every censor wall, because every censor wall harvests a record of what they look at. Teach them to spoof every form that they’re asked to fill in. And eventually let’s get on to some master subjects like blocking the radio frequency id tags that they carry around or making CCTV maps and figuring out how to move through their towns  without their locations being recorded by their pack sniffs that decided that spying on their neighbours is a proportionate thing to do too.”
