"Only the paranoid survive." - Andy Grove
A Hungarian refugee, after escaping communism studied engineering and ultimates led the most recent global computer revolution as the CEO of Intel.
Andy Grove was one of the few who actually managed to contribute lion's share in changing the world without getting popularity in mainstream community.
When he says be paranoid, be paranoid. Not obsessively. But do try.
There are data moguls devouring lives for their own purposes. But there are dogs sitting around trying to profits for themselves in this data frenzy.
Do adopt to encryptions.
