 If staying away from your phone, Google and social media protecting yourself from third party intrusions to your life was hard before, after the coronavirus outbreak it is almost impossible. I am still in New York and with the quarantine, you only have the technology to stay in touch with your love ones. This quarantine is affecting the hopes and expectations of everyone's life goals, the university experience, and our economic future, but I am hopeful and I think that this will resolve soon enough in a good way.

From my part, I am trying to stay sane and being up to date with my assignments, but it is getting harder every day. We have to be strong and hope for the best in these complicated times where the internet is the only thing we have. Now more than ever, we have to try to protect ourselves as much as we can in the physical realm and in the web.

Using a real computer wired to the wall is easier, in a way, once we're under stay-at-home orders. The third-party services, like Zoom, that are based on data-mining and privacy invasion may be having a moment, but you can also be cleaning up the hardware and software environment while depending more on the net, ironically enough. Tech projects 2-4 will contain useful exercises in permanent infrastructure for privacy, and I'm working on other efforts to help make this a time of privacy increase as well as destruction.
