Let's fix things 27 - India, privacy, and world culture - a designers paradox
b"
Joe opens recounting his recent time in India. He reflect on meeting a 12 year old girl three year ago, who was the only person to speak English in her colony, and how it changed his life. Joe shares how his encounter changed the way he approaches travel, and understanding of design. The story then comes to present day when Joe returned to the village to find her and continue his discussion from three years ago.
This leads into a second part of privacy and what it means for designers. The users will give up privacy and embrace customization as long as it means they receive a benefit. At the same time they push back against monitoring. Guus and Joe look at what privacy means in different countries, and how practices like deep packet inspection can be positive and negative.
Guus shares his views on net neutrality while Joe challenges what that means as everything moves online. The two raise a critical question that if you allow monitoring in younger generations for such situations are safety and parental controls, does the grow into an older generation that not only doesn't mind, but may even embrace monitoring.
