This series of articles is directed at parents, who need to teach kids how to be safe, and responsible online, but part of me thinks there are a lot of adults who could use a refresher course too.
Especially around the ideas of digital identity and digital emotional intelligence.

“Windows XP exited public support on April 8, 2014, amid some panic on the part of corporations that had not yet purged their environments of the 2001 OS. Unless companies paid for custom support, their PCs running XP received no security updates after that date” And we wonder why there are so many vulnerable computers…

As you may know, I decided to go with the upstart The Old Reader as my Google Reader replacement when Google shut it down. It had everything that I had enjoyed from Google Reader, even if it wasn’t backed by a humongous infrastructure in the same way that Google Reader was. I can see now…
I mean, it seems so simple, and yet so genius. But also so very unethical:
“In a program called ‘Communicate with Care,’ Google trains and directs employees to add an attorney, a privileged label, and a generic ‘request’ for counsel’s advice to shield sensitive business communications, regardless of whether any legal advice is actually needed or sought. Often, knowing the game, the in-house counsel included in these Communicate-with-Care emails does not respond at all,” the DOJ told the court. The fact that attorneys often don’t reply to the emails “underscor[es] that these communications are not genuine requests for legal advice but rather an effort to hide potential evidence,” the DOJ said.”
A lot of the stats Doug lists in his article, including the ones I’ve quoted below, are not surprising to me. Some have even applied to me: “More than half (54 percent) of office workers would be willing to quit their job for one that allows them to work remotely (Source: Gallup); 37 percent of…
As I’ve said before, many employers did the easy stuff. They invested in some mental health tools, promoted using employee assistance programs, talked more about mental health, heck they even gave people more time off or at least pushed people to actually use the time off they hadn’t been. And yet, here we are. Why?
Because they haven’t yet done the hard work of making the workplace not the place that hurts mental health to start with. There’s no easy fix for that. It won’t happen in a few weeks, but if you don’t start looking at it, you’re going to find yourself without many employees to keep going. Because in 2021, people have options, and those options are only going to keep growing as younger generations make very different decisions about their careers than those of us in older generations are used to.
The workplace will change one way or another. If your’s doesn’t want to, it will be killed.
