When we look around today, we see how much  technology in a good way influences our daily lives and businesses. Einstein’s quote when taken literally some how portrays a negative view of the overall impact of technology

But instead, Einstein’s quote should perhaps be seen as an explanation to how technology has allowed us to reach new heights both physically and intellectually as well as changed our human nature

Although the original intent of the internet was designed to make interpersonal relationships more connected, it does seems that certain technological innovations such as the smartphone has ultimately over complicated the very thing that they were meant to simplify

The 1990s saw extreme advances in technology with the world wide web. Prior to that era closing one’s curtains was enough to experience privacy.

However, the growth of the Internet immensely contributed to globalization from the later part of the 20th century by allowing faster communication among ourselves all around the world.

And as smartphones found their way into our pockets, we actually turned it into a resource that generated lots of data about ourselves. Our privacy today is no longer achieved just by closing one’s curtain.

The well-known privacy paradox, describes this inconsistency between the concerns of people regarding privacy and their actual behaviour, since people would like to do more but they also want to use services that would not exist without sharing their data.

This data we share reluctantly or in a voluntary way creates our digital DNA and this is used to manipulate our purchasing behaviour in the form of targeted advertising and a host of other purposes that might not always be in our interest

The privacy paradox has a tendency to position the individual in a bigger context with the insurgence in cyber crime activities across the globe. The issues of privacy vs cyber crime is not only a concern for the individual and businesses but one that is now considered a big threat for our global society and modern democracy

At Dan Division, we believe that cyber crime is the biggest challenge that we are faced with in today’s digital times and all stakeholders including government agencies have a big task ahead of us
