I’ll take the unorthodox approach of advocating for myself. I come with little technical expertise but an eagerness and confidence in learning. I am of the OG (original generation) that saw the personal computer transform the way we live and work. We have made a bit of a devil’s bargain for convenience, and now see erosion of fundamental human rights, such as association and dismantling of protections against unwanted intrusion. I would like to be a party to stemming that tide. Thanks for listening.
