It seems you have to question everything on the internet, phone, email. All of it gets sketchier every day. It no longer is the, “if it seems to be too good to be true, it’s a scam” motto anymore. Missing people, hurt pets, causes, items for sale, it is too much to keep track of. It is pretty disgusting actually. Entering a contest, hard to know if you win or not. It interferes with that too. I question the long term ability to keep us safe in the digital world.
Authenticating accounts is now another step in accessing our own information. The amount of passwords and steps to retain is overwhelming. Surely there is another way without jumping through hoops on the daily. I empty my junk email daily, carefully scanning the 107 emails to be sure I don’t overlook any important items. It doesn’t stop there, you then go to deleted and empty that. My inbox has focused and other, and then there is work email. Just unsubscribe you say? I didn’t subscribe in the first place!
It is hard to keep up with all the digital world has to offer. Our preceding generation must hate it. It complicates so many tasks. If you want a real human, good luck, even customer service is auto generated. I don’t believe in a cashless society for this reason. The World Wide Web goes down, you are down too! Sure it has perks, Amazon had my back this Christmas too. I wish I knew more about computers and those that do have the upper hand. It evolves fast, that is for sure! Guess I better go unsubscribe from a hundred or so emails.
