Blog Post: Reflections on Privacy discussions

 Throughout the course of our discussions on privacy, I definitely learnt about how much data and information companies and the government have on me. This is rather overwhelming and also destroys our sense of freedom as we know that everything we do is being watched and saved. I would love a world where we don't have this concern but unfortunately this will always exist.

Also it was hard to let my family know I was alright after the storm as I could barely contact them.  It was interesting when I was in England to hear how the storm was being presented over there and what things the news focused on.
