It's so true....what we have given up in the name of making our lives easier and more interesting...with all these apps.

I suppose awareness and education - of ourselves and our children - it the best hope. I am learning about the privacy info but it seems to me they don't make it easy!

It is pretty scary--one of the reasons I am not on any social media. It means I miss the day-to-day postings of my family, who have learned to send me photos of grandchildren in other ways and call me to catch up on life, but it also means that FB doesn't get a crack at me. Frankly, I don't really want to be 'friended' by folks I knew 40 years ago. I also check on what permissions each app requires and if it is too much, I simply won't download them. This kind of privacy may all be an illusion on my part, but it works for me.

Oh well done Mary - we don't have to just accept it all.

Maybe I am one of those rare people who has a mobile phone you can (obviously) make/receive calls with and text messages, and that's it. It is all it does and I am very content with that. No social media for me except FB of which I am a passive user. I don't own an IPad either.

I am also trying to keep it Simple, but it is not easy!
Like Mary I’m not on any social media (much to the horror and disbelief of friends and customers!) and I’ve recently been Kondoing my online presence - deleting unused accounts, email addresses, anything that isn’t immediately relevant or essential. It feels good. Simpler. I see it a bit like clearing up ‘space junk’ and it creates an extra bit of room in my head because there’s less to keep track of, on a subconscious level too. And of course that goes some way to helping with the privacy issues, although it doesn’t eliminate them.

So much more space in my head after Kondoing anything (the kitchen today). Loved the clever Stephen Fry thank you!
