Another Mobile Device Post

My 5 year old daughter said to me as we were leaving a trade show, "Daddy that man looks like a statue." I turned around and saw what looked like 4 statues as 3 men and a lady stood in place starting at their devices.
I was born in NYC as many of you may know and the first thing I think of is, man, no one is really looking. If you lost or dropped something, a crime occurs or is about to occur and that person would not witness that our have the experience of walking down the street having a conversation with your friend, loved one or child. Instead we are somewhere else. In between our brains electric spark and the interconnected webbings of the online world.
Alls we need now is to find a way to plug in the Heart, Minds and Souls of all those we Love. Maybe this way we can be more truly connected.
Don't ever forget the True meaning of being connected to someone! Write them a hand written letter, call them on the phone and hear their voice's aches, pains and excitement. Go ahead and touch them. Just make sure they Love you back and feel as connected to you as you to them. Otherwise they may connect a fist to your face :).

Protect Your 10 Digit # or Become a Victim!

We have always been told to protect our social security number, but every day it becomes increasingly important that we limit to whom and where we present our 10 digit mobile number. It's not just identity theft as if that's not bad enough, but with access to your device for example someone can see pictures, texts, sites visited and potentially the power to turn on your camera and gps and watch you remotely from somewhere else while you think you're safe at home. Access through your device is access to you not just your data.

With those 10 digits I remember using Google locate with Co-workers and we saw how it could easily pinpoint and potentially access people's phones. Other methods could be potentially through some hack, a new hire at some service provider or even a motivated, placed and grown infiltrator and those are just some of the obvious.
So careful unless you're like a family member of mine who changes phone numbers every month you better treat your mobile number with respect and protect it as if your life depended on it.
