Smartphones, Ipads and IWatches are 3 of the most vulnerable devices you can own

The vulnerability of any smartphone is uncontested which is why I refuse to do anything financial on my smartphone ever at all. Because of my knowledge about software and the vulnerability of anything that uses software you just have to know that multiply the vulnerability of your laptop and home computer by 5, or 10 or 100 and you have just how vulnerable any smartphone actually is.

It is true that absolutely nothing ever that you do on a smartphone will ever be private.

So, as long as you are happy with everything you ever do printed on paper and blowing down roads for anyone to read then I suppose you are realistic at least about all this.

It's true there is anonymity in being one of the masses. But, if you stand out in any way like by income or race or ethnicity this could be used against you at any point and it also could be used against your children, parents or relatives or friends. So, be smart and never do anything you wouldn't want written down or a part of a movie somewhere because it is quite possible it will be a some point in the near or far future.

For example, even dating movies (trying to find a date) in the 1980s are out on Youtube where people who wanted a date and often paid 3000 dollars then are often out now on Youtube where everyone is laughing at them. Often these people now 40 years older about have no idea this is happening because a much younger crowd tends to populate Youtube than 60 or 70 year olds. So, if you find a parent or relative acting ridiculous trying to get a date in the 1980s on Youtube don't be surprised. LIkely these people also NEVER gave permission for this to be in the public domain either.

So, imagine now 20 to 30 years from now how you today will be embarrassed on Youtube or another service when you didn't give permission for videos or photos of yourselves now either to be in the public domain.
