I talk about security, privacy, the possible compromising of systems, including medical devices. I structure the video in a way that it gets more serious as it progresses, so it's easy to skip ahead.

Step outside yourself and give us a critical review of the content. Or will you pay us to view?

It's about how as technology advances in different ways, problems arise.

I talk about home security systems where you can remote control your home, and view cameras, and the consequence of that system being compromised. I do the same thing with child tracking devices.

See the thing is this so called improvement does not live up to SiFi stories of 40 years ago. By now we should have telepathy, and instead of typing on MC, I should be able to just send you my thoughts directly without a kludge of wires n hardware n circuits.

I close by talking about medical devices that utilize networks (IE pacemakers), and how those have recently been in the news, because hospitals are getting malware.

I ask at the end: At what point does risk outweigh reward for you? Do you have an online bank account,

Sorry for posting in parts, my phone is weird, and stops letting me type at a certain point.
