Show Notes: Happy Mother’s Day

Hour 1: Tech Roundtable

 

Gary Baker, Ed Rudel, Cal Carson along with Caston Thomas and Foster Braun lead the Tech Roundtable with a sad story about a crash involving a Tesla.  Apparently two young men near Gary’s boat dock, ran a Tesla off the road at high speed and were killed. Who/what is to blame? Can anyone blame Tesla for including all the kill switches necessary to avoid this…except the one that can stop a young man from doing something deadly?

On to much more pleasant tech topics.

Caston Thomas, CEO and founder of InterWorks Technology in Rochester, MI is both a standing tech expert and co host for he show but he is also an excellent commentator on security on the Web. So we took special note of his response to an article by another security expert on the degree of information that Google has about each of us.

Caston is going to help us look at the consequences of all that data mining and deal with the simple but profound question: What has happened to privacy? Is there such a thing anymore? How can we protect critical data e.g. SS numbers, bank account information etc.?  What does privacy mean in 2018? Is Google the only or biggest player in this field? Who else has eyes on our data?…
