Sony Hack And Confidentiality

If we’ve learned anything
from the Sony Hack,
it’s that everything
we say or text or email
can go public.

All information is stored in a system somewhere
and every system is hackable.
EVERY system.

If we’re not recording our deeds or thoughts,
someone else is.
Every public moment can be recorded.
Everyone has a phone
and every phone has a camera,
or some sort of recording ability.

There’s also no longer
any debate in the media
about whether or not
a story should be reported.
It WILL be reported
by someone,
either someone official
or an anonymous person on the internet.

What does this mean?

Watch what you do or say or write.
Ensure that the people
you’re open with
can be trusted.

Realize that if you become famous,
you WILL be named in some scandals.
Pretending to be perfect
is a very risky branding.

But all this shouldn’t stop you
from doing,
from changing the world.
It’s worth the exposure.
