S3E1 - Working Remotely - Yes, Your Boss Can See That

This week we are going to do a deep dive into working remotely. How society is handling the transition, what your employer can see with monitoring programs, the consequences and uses for this data collected and, how you can work a little smarter. Over the past year and a half, a large number of us have become comfortable with this new reality. Some of us are now unemployed, while others are adjusting to a life where we work from our homes. Pre covid, most of us made the daily commute clocked in to work and knew that while we were in the office, anyone could walk by and see whether you were working or not. Our productivity was easily monitored because we were all physically in the office.

S2E7 - Coronavirus - Tracking You & Cyber Espionage

This week we’ll be doing a deep dive into the tech side of Coronavirus specifically how companies and governments are using apps to track, monitor & assist with slowing down the spread of the virus also known as COVID-19. As well as the recent claims that China is using cyber espionage to collect the research that governments are doing about this virus.

Lets take a look into apps that specifically track the spread of COVID-19. When it comes to our behavior and the places we go, it’s safe to say that over the past few years it has become much harder for us to keep this kind of information private. When we drive from our house to a new store, or friends house we use our cell phone to give us turn by turn directions.
