"Privacy is like this artefact from an age where we have anything tracked. A time where our data and lives, are hidden just by accident."
Recently I finally had the pleasure to talk with Buster Brenson, someone who has been inspiring me in the past months. This resulted in one of the most interesting interviews I have done. You seriously need to hear his thoughts on transparency, singularity, etc.
Buster works at Twitter, is known in the Quantified-Self community for the software tools he made to track several things about himself, and, in my opinion, is someone really interesting with a fresh view about several topics. Especially when it comes about transparency.
