Obama’s blackberry and the lack of ephemeral conversations today

Another well written article on the lack of privacy in the digital world, how conversations are no longer ephemeral with excellent referenced examples, entitled “Wy Obama Should Keep His Blackberry – but won’t”. Personally I find it quite amazing what people use and transmit via e-mail, SMS messages, IM conversations. Add to that the explosion of wireless devices that do all this, people (myself included) are not careful enough. The article is by security technologist Bruce Schneier.

    Thanks for the link to a good article. As a Communication Coach I found it interesting when Bruce discusses the future of communication, and how each generation is leaving more and more of an online footprint that becomes permanent. I’ll be more careful what I Twitter and leave on Facebook, for sure.
