Just came up with my father again.
He blames me that mother forgot her phone’s and Google password because I recommended against it being a word.
I mentioned encryption, “not necessary unless you’re doing something illegal”.
When mentioning lack of privacy with targeted advertisements, he said that he actually really likes them, because he bought a couple of things he wanted for years.
I don’t really have good arguments.
You don’t lock the doors of your house because you have something to hide, you lock it because you have valuable things you want to protect.
Your dad’s fear is not the government (whether or not it actually should be), but he should have a reasonable fear of criminals taking his money. Technology has made it easier than ever to be robbed but also created better locks than ever to fight the criminals.
