Name: Not Necessary
From: California
Bio: I have a B.S in computer science and I currently work in the computer security industry
Area of Expertise: Futurist/Consultant
Topic: Privacy
Headline: A continuous need for more security as technology continues to grow
Nutshell: Since everything will rely on technology, hackers can effect daily life in a much more severe manner than they already are.
Vision:More and more people use the internet and computer every day. However, many adults still don’t know how to use a computer. By the time I am 40, just about the entire U.S population will know how to use a computer and will be dependent on a computer. This gives hackers more power.
I predict that hackers can eventually control things we do every day, and that online fraud and crime is going to be too difficult to handle.
