You might think that a massive hack of one of Australia’s largest Telcos is a problem, but that’s peanuts compared to the hacking of our personal lives.
SHOW NOTES
Steve McAlpine draws our attention to the wider implications of a data hack that’s exposed the personal information of 40% of Australia’s citizens.
The attack on the data vaults of Australian telco Optus seems alarming, but a far greater amount of data is being released daily – willingly – by the digital citizens of the West.
It’s already being ‘hacked’ by political parties and corporate giants, and is likely to be sifted to a greater extent in the not-too-distant future.
So what should we be doing if we don’t want to end up living in a state where our information is used to shape and shift our beliefs?
Where are we going as a society? And will you be happy when we get there? Steve McAlpine is here to help you answer those questions.
If a Delorean time machine pulled up in front of your house – Back To The Future style – and someone offered to show you what the future would be like, would you be content with what you found? And if not, what could you do to change it? Thinking this through is what Steve McAlpine calls Delorean Philosophy.
Steve McAlpine is a well-known social commentator, respected theologian and popular author. Each week, he takes a crucial trend or event that’s playing out in society now and asks, “Where is this taking us?”
Rather than just pontificating, Steve then provides practical steps listeners can take if they want to change the future. That’s Delorean Philosophy.
