A Visit From Eric Hanberg

          Eric Hanberg is indeed a technology expert in my opinion. It was very interesting hearing him talk about his earlier experiences in working with networks. After his presentation, I felt like my concern about privacy had been answered. It started off when he brought up the subject of LinkedIn, and how putting yourself out there to the world is beneficial towards your professional career. This is something that I never thought of since I didn't even know about this website to begin with. He also added that in order to get what we want through the web, we have to give up something – which unfortunately is our privacy. I got chills when he mentioned how the amount of privacy we have right now is all the privacy we’ll ever get. It makes me realize that this is something we all have to learn to accept once we exposed ourselves on the internet.

        Among the various topics Eric informed us about, I was actually surprised that he’s an author of various books including the one that revolves around privacy called “The Lead Cloak”. I heard a glimpse of the book summary on how it’ll take us into the future where privacy no longer exists. Geez…imagine that. Another helpful subject that he touched on was in order to be a successful entrepreneur, you have to have balance your time in the cave and the stream; which refers to the working station and being updated on social media. These informative topics and advice he gave were helpful to us all.
