What would it take to reopen countries during the COVID-19 global pandemic? The answer is Contact Tracing. Contract Tracing means to identify all people who carry the disease, to then monitor everyone they have been in contact with. This approach is one of the measures that need to go hand in hand with Social Distancing and self quarantine to effectively overcome this crisis. But how does this work in practice? Contact Tracing is something most countries are currently already doing - but all in analogic. This means that people are being tracked physically and contacted one-by-one by medical personnel to warn them to self quarantine or to get tested. This process, however, is highly inefficient, as it is very time consuming and requires a lot of human workforce. Most recent analyses highlight that the interview with the infected person alone might take up to 12 hours - and only then the tracking begins. As you can see, this process is rather slow and we are losing valuable time

Sounds like a rhetorical question, but there is an answer: they should make it easy because of trust issues we have now toward the giant of silicon valley. They make it difficult, foggy, and the more we dig, the more foggy it gets. I wonder if they made it simple what would have happened.

Privacy and the Internet are two concepts we are used to. Together in the same sentence, they sound pretty odd recently, we feel we have been spied on and followed for a long time.

Getting to know how the internet and the lack of privacy work together, will help us understand how we can make the internet a better, more secure place to be in. So what does Privacy mean? Depending on who you ask this question, but on a broader definition privacy is the right to be let alone. Given this fact and its many interpretations, it comes natural to think that it is one of our most natural rights: a person should be free to disclose as much

What do 1984 of George Orwell, The Truman Show and the infamous BigBrother reality Show have in common? They all describe a dystopian society where privacy is not a thing of this world, or worst it has been taken away without the main character’s consent (the Truman show) or has been imposed with brutality (1984) Or it’s a fun thing to watch to unplug our brains. Reality is not going so much further from what we have only seen in Movies or Books. Are we entering a surveillance era? Is this the real cost, the price we pay for this continuous stream of free information and entertainment? There are approximately 30 billions devices connected to the internet at the moment, and they are only growing in number. They can go from a “simple” computer to your doorbell, from your dildo, to your kid’s toy. It’s easy then to feel that we are being spied on. Is it just paranoia or truth? One thing it’s known for sure, all these companies are collecting everything they can, but very few of them know
