When easy technology comes with uneasy bugs
Brad Templeton chairman of the Electronic Frontier Foundation talks about the dark side of cloud computing and one click technolgies. Brad who is strong advocate for improving civil rights and privacy in cyberspace suggests that devil is in the detail and our most private data can be one click away from the cyberspace.
“Ease of Use” can be a bug if the thing made easy has dangers. “User Choice” can be a bug if it excuses something scary because users were forced to check a box (which was pre-checked for them.) When you make something easy to do, you make it easy to ask for, and eventually easy to demand.
