Say cheese!

When I do anything on my phone or computer - whether it’s taking photos, surfing the web, or typing a text - I do so with caution. That’s because I’m a surface-level operator.  I can get the thing to dial, text, and search, but I have no idea what’s happening behind the scenes. I guess I operate with the feeling that somebody might be able to see what I’m doing.

Call it paranoia, but privacy is not guaranteed.  We live under a state of surveillance and I’m not saying that’s an entirely bad thing. There are numerous examples of surveillance making us safer. But with almost anything, there are always drawbacks.  As new technologies continue to amaze, a feeling I’ve had for a long time becomes emboldened – the evolution of technology is going much faster than people’s ability to understand it. I have no problem with celebrities taking nude photos of themselves, and they have no doubt been victimized. But if you really want to take a photo of your a** without the risk of it being hacked, do what I do -- break out the ol’ Polaroid camera!
