Protecting Your Family’s Digital Privacy in 2025: Key Legal Steps Every Parent Should Take

Protect your family's digital privacy in 2025 with these essential steps. Learn how to secure accounts and understand Florida privacy laws.

In an increasingly digital world, protecting your family’s digital privacy is, after all, more important than ever. This task involves more than just safeguarding physical security; additionally, it requires parents to be proactive about the online safety of their family members. Digital privacy is especially crucial for families managing complex situations, for example, co-parenting after…

Citizens of the European Union live in an internet built and ruled by foreign powers. Most people in the EU use an American search engine, shop on an American ecommerce site, thumb American phones, and scroll through American social media feeds.

That fact has triggered increasing alarm in the corridors of Brussels, as the EU tries to understand how exactly those companies warp the economy around them. Five years ago, Shoshana Zuboff’s book The Age of Surveillance Capitalism neatly articulated much of lawmakers’ critique of the tech giants, just as they were preparing to enforce the flagship GDPR privacy law. Now as the EU enacts another historic piece of tech regulation, the Digital Markets Act, which companies must comply with starting tomorrow, March 7, a different critic du jour sums up the new mood in Brussels.

In his 2023 book, Technofeudalism, Yanis Varoufakis argues the big US tech platforms have brought feudalism back to Europe. The former Greek finance minister sees little difference between the medieval serf toiling on land he does not own and the Amazon seller who must subject themselves to the company’s strict rules while giving the company a cut of each sale.

The idea that a handful of big tech companies have subjugated internet users into digital empires has permeated through Europe. Technofeudalism shares bookshelf space with Cloud Empires and Digital Empires, which make broadly similar arguments. For years, Europe’s wanna-be Big Tech rivals, like Sweden’s Spotify or Switzerland’s ProtonMail, have claimed that companies like Google, Meta, and Apple unfairly limit their ability to reach potential users, through tactics like preinstalling Gmail on new Android phones or Apple’s strict rules for the App Store. “It’s not a problem to be a monopoly,” says Sandra Wachter, professor of technology and regulation at Oxford University’s Internet Institute. “It becomes a problem if you're starting to exclude other people from the market.”

Crowbarred Open

In answer to that problem, Brussels’ politicos agreed to the Digital Markets Act in 2022. It is designed to rein in the largest tech companies—almost all of them from the US—that act as gatekeepers between consumers and other businesses. A sibling regulation, the Digital Services Act, which focuses more on freedom of expression, went into effect last month. Wachter says they follow a long tradition of laws trying to protect the public and the economy from state power, wielded either by the government or the monarch. “With the rise of the private sector and globalization, power has just shifted,” she adds. Tech platforms rule over digital lives like kings. The DMA is part of the attempt to keep up.

The rules change tomorrow for platforms deemed “gatekeepers” by the DMA—so far including Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, and TikTok parent Bytedance. The law essentially crowbars open what the EU calls the gatekeepers’ “core services.” In the past regulators have proposed containing corporate giants by taking them to pieces. EU lawmakers have adopted the motto “Don’t break up big tech companies, break them open.”

In theory, that means big changes for EU residents’ digital lives. Users of iPhones should soon be able to download apps from places other than Apple’s app store; Microsoft Windows will no longer have Microsoft-owned Bing as its default search tool; Meta-owned WhatsApp users will be able to communicate with people on rival messaging apps; and Google and Amazon will have to tweak their search results to create more room for rivals. There will also be limits on how users’ data can be shared between one company’s different services. Fines for noncompliance can reach up to 20 percent of global sales revenue. The law also gives the EU recourse to the nuclear option of forcing tech companies to sell off parts of their business.

Homegrown Challengers

Most tech giants have expressed uncharacteristic alarm about the changes required of them this week. Google has spoken of “difficult trade-offs,” which may mean its search results send more traffic to hotel or flight aggregators. Apple has claimed that the DMA jeopardizes its devices’ security. Apple, Meta and TikTok have all filed legal challenges against the EU, saying new rules unfairly target their services. The argument in favor of the status quo is that competition is actually thriving—just look at TikTok, a technology company launched in the past decade, now designated as one of the so-called gatekeepers.

But TikTok is an exception. The DMA wants to make it normal for new household names to emerge in the tech industry; to “drive innovation so that smaller businesses can really make it,” as the EU’s competition chief Margrethe Vestager explained to WIRED, back in 2022. Many hope some of the new businesses that “make it” will be European. For almost every big tech service, there is a smaller homegrown equivalent: from German search engine Ecosia to French messaging app Olvid and Polish Amazon alternative Allegro. These are the companies many hope will benefit from the DMA, even if there is widespread skepticism about how effective the new rules will be at forcing the tech giants to change.

Today, US-based Epic Games said Apple had terminated its European developer account, soon after Epic announced it would take advantage of the DMA to open a new games store for iOS. Apple told WIRED that Epic was untrustworthy and Apple has the right to terminate the accounts of any of Epic's wholly owned subsidiaries following a 2021 court judgment. “Apple chose to exercise that right,” a statement provided by company spokesperson Rob Saunders said.

App Stores will be an early area of focus for DMA enforcement, Vestager said this week. But Europeans can’t expect the internet to transform overnight. In its early days, the new law’s effects will be more about the power struggles behind the curtain of the world’s biggest companies; not about making netizens’ lives easier. In fact, their online experience is likely to get messier at first. There will probably be even more website pop-ups. “This dominant position that these companies have is partially because we have been so addicted to convenience,” says Anu Bradford, a professor at Columbia Law School and author of Digital Empires: The Global Battle to Regulate Technology. The new rules will mean users have to reengage with what they want their online lives to look like, she adds. Defaults set by US corporations will no longer be chosen for them.

Instead the DMA’s objective is to remind Europeans what they traded in exchange for that convenience in the first place. The DMA is about power, not necessarily convenience. Whether Europeans will be able to remember that as their online worlds are cracked open remains to be seen.

"The Internet can be a risky place. There are endless feeds filled with posts that contain graphic sexual and violent content, glamorize eating disorders, encourage self-harm or promote discriminatory and offensive diatribes. People often share too much personal information with a too-public audience that includes cyberbullies and strangers with ill intent. And they also risk losing time: by spending hours online, they might miss out on experiences and growth opportunities that can be found elsewhere. These problems are particularly acute for children and teenagers, and new laws that attempt to protect youth from the Internet’s negative effects have their own serious downsides. Scientific American spoke with experts about the best evidence-backed ways to actually keep kids safe online.

...

But these controversial policies aren’t the only way to promote online safety. Other legislative actions that are less focused on censorship, along with clear content guidelines and better social media design, could help. Plus, digital safety researchers and psychologists agree that getting families, schools and young people themselves involved would make a big difference in keeping kids safe.

Digital privacy legislation is one alternate policy path that might shift the online landscape for the better. “If people’s data is treated with respect in ways that are transparent and accountable, actually, it turns out a whole set of safety risks get mitigated,” says social psychologist Sonia Livingstone, who researches children and online media at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

A comprehensive data privacy bill could require social media companies to disclose when user data are being collected and sold—and to obtain consent first. This would help users make better choices for themselves, Livingstone says. Limiting the data that tech platforms amass and profit from could also help block the proliferation of algorithms that emphasize increasingly extreme content in order to hold social media users’ attention. Additionally, privacy legislation could ideally enable users to request the removal of content or data they no longer want online—potentially protecting kids (and everyone else) from their own short-term choices, Alvord says.

Beyond privacy, national guidelines for social media sites could help. Livingstone and Alvord suggest that a content rating system like those used for movies, TV shows and video games might help young people avoid inappropriate content—and allow families to set firmer boundaries. Design features that let users block others and limit the audience for specific posts allow kids and teens to take the reins of their own safety—which is critical, says Pamela Wisniewski, a Vanderbilt University computer scientist, who studies human-computer interaction and adolescent online safety.

Parental controls can be appropriate for younger kids, but teens need the chance to exercise autonomy online, Wisniewski says. Such freedom lets them engage in some of the Internet’s positive aspects: civic engagement opportunities, community and educational resources, identity exploration and connections beyond one’s own social bubble. To ensure these benefits are accessible to all, youth should be directly involved formulating regulations and safety strategies, Wisniewski adds. As part of her research, she holds workshops with teens to involve them in co-designing online safety interventions. Though this program, called Teenovate, is in the early stages, some ideas have already emerged from it. Among them: social platforms could provide “nudges” that would ask users to think twice before sharing personal data and prompt would-be bad actors to reconsider personal requests or bullying behavior."

Embracing Diversity: Modern Families and the Role of Technology 

Over the past few years, there have been considerable changes to the concept of family because of the dynamic nature of our society. Modern families are diverse, adaptable, and built on love, support, and shared experiences. This blog will explain the changing dynamics of modern families, different family structures existing today, and how technology, particularly Kintree-the Family Tree Application contributes to the strengthening and continuation of these unique family bonds. 

Contemporary Families in Present Times 

The traditional or nuclear family, which involved two parents and their biologic children, is no more. Today, families vary in form, and their diversity and adaptability signify what a family is. Qualitative aspects have dominated the definition of a family, not its structure. 

Different Types of Modern Families 

1. Single Parenting Families 

In single-parent households, one parent performs the roles that two would share. These families are normally composed of divorce, separation, or choice and display strength and determination. 

2. Blended Families 

Blended families, also known as stepfamilies, are families created when parents remarry and bring together children from other relationships. These families work patiently with issues and create new bonds. 

3. Same-Sex Families 

More and more same-sex couples are adopting or using surrogacy or other means to raise children. Such families are the best examples of how love knows no gender and forms strong, supportive bonds. 

4. Extended Families 

Extended families are those in which multiple generations live together or nearby. They provide a strong support system and preserve cultural traditions, enriching family life. 

Contemporary Families in Media 

The TV show Modern Family beautifully portrays the changing characteristics of 21st-century families. The show beautifully portrays all the challenges and moments of pleasure in blended, multicultural families by using a lot of comedy and emotionally touching moments. The show reminds us that love, acceptance, and understanding lie at the root of any family, whatever its composition. 

How Kintree supports modern families 

In the digital century, technology has become an essential tool in building and maintaining kinship. Kintree is, therefore, a family-building platform that is absolutely inclusive of the features with modern families: 

Connection: Connecting geographical distances, the platform links families to maintain contact for updates and emotional support.

Security: It's all about privacy. Kintree has the best encryption and security measures to protect your data. 

Resource Hub: Parenting tips, relationship advice, and much more to help the modern families navigate the issues of contemporary life. 

Celebrate diversity in modern families 

Modern families today reflect the changing world of today. They all seem different, with varying talents and weaknesses. In Modern Family, love and acceptance have always been shown as the basis of each great family. 

With tools like Kintree, families can appreciate and thrive in the digital, fast-paced world. Online building of a family tree and sharing photos, stories, and milestones have made Kintree possible.

Communication breakdowns.

Trust issues.

Financial conflicts.

Parenting disagreements.

Emotional disconnection.

If these issues are addressed early, counseling may prevent the relationship from deteriorating further.

Benefits of Combining Counseling and Legal Support:

Helps clients process emotions before making legal decisions.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn Urges House To Pass Kids Online Safety Act

U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) speaks on stage on the first day of the Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum on July 15, 2024 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Senator Marsha Blackburn has released a video urging the House of Representatives to pass the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), aimed at increasing children’s digital safety and privacy.

Following the bipartisan vote from the Senate to pass KOSA, Blackburn (R-Tenn.) released a video titled “Why We Must Pass the Kids Online Safety Act.” 

In the video, she highlighted the story of a 17-year-old who passed away after taking a fentanyl laced pill he had bought from someone off the social media platform Snapchat. 

— Sen. Marsha Blackburn (@MarshaBlackburn) September 16, 2024

Thomas suffered fentanyl poisoning and died after taking what his mother called “counterfeit Xanax.”

“When Vaughn-Thomas didn’t wake up to his alarm, that’s when we found him,” the mother, Kathy, told Blackburn. “He took what he thought was a Xanax, it was a counterfeit Xanax [laced with fentanyl].”

Blackburn, and co-author of the KOSA bill Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), said the bill would require social media platforms to protect underage kids from potentially harmful content, including limiting addictive features.

“We have found so many kids that are meeting these drug dealers online, and the precursors come from China into Mexico, and then the drug cartels bring it into the country,” Blackburn said. “Over 100,000 Americans a year die.”

In July, KOSA passed in the Senate in a 91-3 vote, along with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Action Act. 

Those who voted against it were Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Senator Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah). The senators argued that it violated the First Amendment and that it would allow the executive branch too much power to censor content. 

Big tech companies are expected to lobby against the bill, having derailed a bipartisan data privacy bill in the House Energy and Commerce Committee last month and preventing antitrust legislation from being enacted.

A group of parents led by the advocacy group, ParentsTogether, recently delivered a petition supporting KOSA to House leaders. The petition received over 100,000 signatures, and boxes containing messages from parents about online safety were delivered to members of Congress.

The Hill reported that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has expressed support for the bill. This comes despite the fact that House Republican leadership warned last month that it could lead to speech censorship and could grant the Federal Trade Commission new authority.

"Sharenting" May Be Common, but How Does It Affect Kids?

Parenting in today's digital-first, social media world comes with unique challenges that generations before us didn't have to navigate. For millennials, growing up meant milestones were captured and shared through photo albums, diaries, and stories told from memory. Younger generations, however, are now experiencing the opposite: milestones are made accessible and publicly available by their parents. These early digital traces mark the start of a child's online presence, which will continue to grow and evolve throughout their lives. This practice is known as "sharenting," and it's become an unexpected byproduct of parenting in the age of social media. Parenting experts have hesitations and warnings about the potential problems sharenting may bring, however. Below, we tapped various experts for their advice on how parents can share their everyday lives while also protecting their child's privacy and safety. --- Experts Featured in This Article Monika Roots, MD, is a child psychiatrist and co-founder of Bend Health, a provider of pediatric mental health care for kids. Jolie Silva, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and chief operating officer of New York Behavioral Health. --- What Is Sharenting? A survey published in the journal "Healthcare" in 2023, defines sharenting as the practice of sharing "photos, videos, personal stories, and other updates" about one's child online. The term sharenting is precisely what it sounds like, and it's a portmanteau of sharing and parenting. More specifically, it applies to parents who share the everyday lives of their kids and their typical activities, including "eating, sleeping, bathing, and playing." In most cases, however, children aren't old enough to consent to have their images or stories told and shared with the masses, and they also aren't old enough to understand the potential future issues that might come from private images or stories being told publicly. Social media can be a tool for parents to connect with friends and family. It's also a helpful outlet for parents looking for a sense of community for support or advice on raising kids. But the benefits of sharenting might not outweigh the drawbacks. The Impact of Sharenting on Parents and Children Sharenting primarily presents an ethical dilemma around consent. "Young children are not able to consent to what content is being shared online about them," says child psychiatrist Monika Roots, MD. "Some parents post moments like potty training and temper tantrums, and while those are relatable parenting moments you may want to connect with others about, it can feel like a violation of a child's privacy," Dr. Roots tells PS. Most parents who share content online about their kids don't intend for it to be harmful, but there are some unintended consequences of sharenting that parents are unknowingly bolstering, says psychologist Jolie Silva, PhD. "Parents of this generation have mastered a cognition known as 'social comparison,' which is exactly what it sounds like - comparing yourself to others," she says. This may, for example, manifest itself in a mom looking at photos another mom shared of her 2 year old sitting on the potty while she's sharing the struggles of getting her 3 year old to give up her diapers. According to Dr. Silva, this cycle of comparison can have severe detrimental effects, including depression and anxiety. Dr. Roots echoes this statement, saying that sharenting and comparison "can lead to a child developing anxiety and self-esteem issues, and they worry about what photos or videos of them have been posted online." She says this can escalate as time passes, where a child may "feel like they have lost control over their privacy and even cause them not to feel safe." In addition to sharenting being detrimental to a child's mental health, their physical safety could be at risk, Dr. Roots warns: "If you decide to post content of your child online for the general public… https://www.popsugar.com/family/what-is-sharenting-49342971?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

Discovering Makani Ravello Harrelson: Woody Harrelson's Rising Star

Ever wondered what it's like to grow up with a famous last name but still manage to keep your personal life private? Meet Makani Ravello Harrelson, a name that might not ring a bell immediately, but is deeply intertwined with a world of fame and mystery. Unlike many celebrity offspring, Makani has carved out a niche of privacy and authenticity that many admire. But who exactly is she? And what makes her story so compelling?

The Early Days

Makani Ravello Harrelson, born into a whirlwind of Hollywood glamour, could have easily been another tabloid fixture. Her father, Woody Harrelson, is a household name, thanks to his prolific acting career and larger-than-life personality. However, Makani has chosen a different path—one that values personal space over public spectacle.

From a young age, Makani was shielded from the spotlight. Her parents, understanding the pressures of fame, ensured she had a relatively normal upbringing. Despite the occasional paparazzi encounter, she attended regular schools and participated in typical childhood activities.

Family Ties and Inspirations

The Harrelson family is known for its tight-knit bonds and shared love for the environment. Woody, a passionate advocate for sustainable living, often involved his family in eco-friendly projects. This upbringing profoundly influenced Makani, instilling in her a deep respect for nature and a desire to make a positive impact on the world.

Woody Harrelson: Renowned actor and environmental activist.

Laura Louie: Makani's mother, co-founder of Yoganics, an organic food delivery service.

Sisters: Deni Montana and Zoe Giordano Harrelson, both of whom also value their privacy.

Embracing Privacy in a Digital Age

In today's era of social media, where every moment is documented and shared, Makani's choice to remain private is both bold and admirable. She rarely appears in public events and maintains a low profile on social media. This conscious decision allows her to lead a life free from constant scrutiny.

But how does one manage to stay out of the limelight when your father is Woody Harrelson? It turns out, it's a combination of strategic choices and a supportive family network. The Harrelsons often retreat to their home in Maui, Hawaii, where they can enjoy a peaceful and private life away from the paparazzi's prying eyes.

The Enigma of Makani Ravello Harrelson

Makani's name itself sparks curiosity. "Makani" means "wind" in Hawaiian, reflecting her parents' connection to nature and their island home. "Ravello," a nod to the picturesque Italian town, adds an element of romance and wanderlust. Together, her name encapsulates a spirit of freedom and adventure, much like Makani herself.

What Does She Do?

Despite her low profile, there are whispers and speculations about Makani's endeavors. Some say she is following in her father's footsteps, dabbling in acting and theater. Others believe she is deeply involved in environmental activism, inspired by her family's legacy. While concrete details are scarce, one thing is clear: Makani is carving her path, on her terms.

A Life Away from the Glitz

Makani's life is a testament to the possibility of finding balance in a world obsessed with fame. She values authenticity over appearances, often seen participating in community projects and environmental causes. Her humility and grounded nature are qualities that resonate with many, proving that you don't need to be in the spotlight to make a difference.

Makani's Impact and Legacy

Makani Ravello Harrelson may not seek the limelight, but her influence is undeniable. Through her quiet yet impactful actions, she embodies a new kind of role model—one who values privacy, authenticity, and a deep connection to the world around her.

Environmental Advocacy

Following her father's footsteps, Makani is believed to be a passionate environmentalist. Whether through silent support or active participation, she contributes to various ecological initiatives. Her family's commitment to sustainability is well-known, and Makani continues this legacy with grace and determination.

Personal Projects and Passions

While specifics are elusive, those close to the Harrelson family hint at Makani's artistic talents. From painting to writing, she explores various creative outlets, reflecting her multifaceted personality. These personal projects, kept away from public scrutiny, allow her to express herself freely and authentically.

Conclusion

Makani Ravello Harrelson's story is one of mystery, privacy, and quiet impact. In a world where fame often overshadows substance, Makani stands as a beacon of authenticity. Her journey reminds us that it's possible to honor one's heritage while forging an independent path. As we unravel the enigma that is Makani Ravello Harrelson, we are reminded of the beauty of a life lived authentically and privately, away from the relentless glare of the spotlight.

Hwang Si-eun lived in Gwangju her entire life waiting for it to begin. Born to two gluttonous politicians, she had learned from an early age just how important it was to be a proper lady and a snake in the weeds. She spent the majority of her time in some stuffy elitist boarding school, riding horses, tending to Na-ri and forgetting what her parents' face actually looked like; the ultimate cross to bear when you’re the oldest daughter. Despite the expense of her personal autonomy, she loved every second of it. With every accolade, she was showered with luxury gifts which had been the currency of love in her home.Between all of the refinement and instruction, Si-eun comforted some of that loneliness that she felt creating portals for places for people just like her. She spent many days toying on the computer to make new life from ones and zeroes. Sieun spent many hours crafting her ability to program small greets litters in pixels to grand, complex secrets woven into the DNA of a binary. There was something calming about the consistency and reliability of numbers.

On the eve of her nineteenth birthday, her very last year of secondary school, she skipped her English course to attend an Tedtalk being hosted in Busan about the booming industry of security and privacy often overlooked on the internet. It's where her true blossomed. She applied for various programs at many of the Ivy leagues (getting most if not all) but decided upon London School of Business to begin her journey into familiar word of false words and double talk. After completing her dual depree in software engineering and business, Si-eun applied to MIT for her master's degree in Business Analytics.

While at MIT, she met her co-founder and co-ceo of incoginio, and on some grassy knoll in the middle of Boston the formulated their idea to be the guard dog of the modern age. Data is mined, collected, and sold to the highest bidder. Si-eun knew the steeling gaze of prying eyes her whole life, why feel that in the privacy of her own digital world.

In 2024, Incoginio was launched into the stratosphere.

Chapter 3: Vanita Whicker

Word Count: 970

TWs: Death mentions, obsessive behaviour, implied stalking

/) /) ( • ༝•)

Earlier that afternoon, Vanita had returned to the flat she shared with her overbearing mother, Helena, catty sisters, Cara and Elaine, and of course, energetic little brother, Toby. She gave Toby a snack and immediately retreated to her room, the only place she could get some privacy, a safe haven constructed from blackout curtains and band posters. Energy drink cans littered her desk, and her shelves buckled with books on true crime and the occult. Ever since her father had died, Vanita had found solace in the macabre.

For the past three months, she had been sucked into the rabbit hole that was the murders and mysteries of the early days of the Fazbear Corporation. The first popular restaurant from the company was Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria, humble in comparison to the modern-day PizzaPlex. During its lifetime in the 80s, several murders had occurred on the premises. The only thing authorities ever found was a backroom covered in blood and a few bits of evidence that only led to dead ends. No bodies were uncovered, and no perpetrator was caught. While the authorities had abandoned it and called it a cold case over the coming decades, a rabid online community had more than enough to say about it.

That’s where Vanita spent most of her time, the Fazbear Forums, reading others' theories, digging her way through any information she could find. She was determined to be the one who blew the case wide open, to unveil the killer. But not because she wanted justice for the families of the slain, oh, no… she had her hunch, and she had developed an unhealthy obsession with him. William Afton, the original CEO and co-founder of the Fazbear Entertainment Company, as well as the first iteration of a Freddy’s restaurant, Fredbear’s Family Diner. Why him? Well, she couldn’t be sure of his motives, but he just seemed too clever. In fact, he seemed like exactly the kind of man who would’ve headlined the Fazbear Corporation, considering how they just loved to sweep things under the rug. But they couldn’t hide everything. Vanita kept everything she had learned about William in a fluffy purple notebook, doodling rabbits in the margins- his trademark. He was born in a moderately sized town in England, and moved with his parents to the USA as a teenager. He met his business partner, Henry Emily, in high school. While most surface-level articles waxed poetic about William’s late wife, they failed to mention she had been the second woman in William’s life. He had briefly been with a woman known as Nica Fields, whom he had a daughter with. They were together when Fredbear’s had first opened and broke up after it closed. They shared custody of the daughter while William went on to marry another, a woman known as Amber Richardson. William and Amber had two children, a son and a daughter. Neither of them survived their parents; both perished in unseemly accidents. Because of this, Nica gained full custody of the daughter she had had with William. Amber jumped to her death shortly after, leaving William entirely alone.

Many in the forums had falsely assumed William had died of natural causes somewhere along the line, despite him being a perfectly healthy individual- disregarding an accident he had been in with one of his own creations. Vanita was sure this wasn’t true, however, because no record of his death could be found. She had scrubbed every digital record of death and birth in his United States hometown, A through Z, and there was absolutely nothing indicating he had died. He was out there, somewhere. Biding his time. The one thing she couldn’t quite understand… why had he given up the rights to the Fazbear Entertainment Company? Afton Robotics, William’s personal robotics company, still existed. She had come close enough to the PizzaPlex animatronics to see its trademarks in their designs, even if things had come a long way since Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria. A cover-up, perhaps? William continued to get rich in solitude while the new CEO agreed to keep his inhumane secrets? She could only speculate.

She picked up her journal and a pink glitter pen before throwing herself onto her four-poster bed, covered in plushies and pillows of numerous shapes and sizes. Settling in, she opened it and began writing, a dull smile forming on her lips. 06/15 - Today I finally met Vanessa Fields face to face. She's so pretty. 5’8”, blonde, hazel eyes, petite build. Doesn't wear a lot of make-up, and her uniform fits her perfectly. I’ll have to ask her what perfume she wears, though it might’ve been her hand sanitiser I was smelling. Time to get to work.

Closing the journal, Vanita migrated to her desk to open her sticker-covered laptop. Fazbearsmegapizzaplex.com -> Join the team! -> Here at Freddy Fazbear’s Mega PizzaPlex a helping hand is always welcomed! Do you have what it takes to make someone's day Faztastic™️? Apply today! (Position availability may vary.)

She had only ever worked a retail job, but how hard could it be to get hired at the PizzaPlex? The only thing standing in her way was the reason she got fired from that first job. Nevertheless, she filled out the form and attached her somewhat pitiful resume… now was the waiting game. In the meantime, she began to look into anything public regarding Vanessa. Not like she hadn’t done that before, but it didn’t hurt to check again. Vanessa had done quite the job of distancing herself from her father; only two articles from the 80s even mentioned her name in reference to him. Did she know? Or maybe it was her mother, sweeping her out of harm's way while she remained none-the-wiser. Vanita wasn't sure if it was better or worse if Vanessa knew the truth.

Acumen Research and Consulting predicts the metaverse market will grow to $4 trillion by 2032, driven by the popularity of virtual and augmented reality technology. North America and the Asia-Pacific region will drive adoption. TikTok parent ByteDance is well-positioned to lead the Asian expansion, Acumen said, while American companies Meta Platforms and Microsoft are leading the push in the West. In Asia, the growth will likely be driven by an increasingly tech-savvy online gaming community, while the $42.3 billion US metaverse market is expected to retain its dominant market position. Companies Must Decide How to Use Technology Acumen predicts that metaverse companies face several challenges in reaching this goal. These include privacy concerns and how to unify platforms into a virtual continuum. Blockchain, the open-ledger technology behind Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, will likely provide the economic backbone of this virtual world. It will allow users to exchange cryptocurrencies and other tokenized assets without an intermediary. Read more: Top 11 Companies Building in the Metaverse in 2023 Developing software, services, and hardware and understanding how to use new technology must be high on companies’ agendas, Acumen notes. Presently, different companies have focused on different elements depending on their core strength. Apple’s Vision Pro headset (Pro) targets Apple users looking for an augmented reality experience. The Pro superimposes a user interface over a person’s real world and offers novel ways to interact with the hardware. The move makes sense, considering Apple’s hardware design strength and its products’ ability to interact seamlessly. Meta’s Quest 3 headset, on the other hand, targets improving the reproduction of a person’s appearance in the metaverse. The technology encodes facial expressions and sends the encoded data to another person’s Quest over the wire.  The recipient can see a lifelike rendering of the sender, making it seem like they are in the same room.  This niche of the metaverse plays to Meta’s core business, which is generating revenue through social connections. Meta headset | Source: Lex Fridman William Quigley, a co-founder of Worldwide Asset eXchange, predicts that the digital twin market, the industry that develops workable digital equivalents of physical items, still faces technical hurdles.  An example of a digital twin could be a virtual musical instrument that sounds the same in the metaverse as its physical counterpart in the real world. A firm like Roblox, with its roots in physics simulation, could play a pivotal role in advancing this technology, having already created virtual worlds and marketplaces for brands like Gucci and Chipotle. Read more: Top 10 Metaverse Platforms To Watch Out for in 2023 According to Acumen, the digital twin market reached $9.5 billion in 2022. The firm expects this niche to expand to $274 billion by 2032, provided the technology progresses as expected.  Quigley predicts digital twin technologies will only mature around 2030. Until then, he expects businesses to emerge that can bring physical assets onto the blockchain through tokenization.  Do you have something to say about metaverse market growth, the role of tokenization, or anything else?

Preparing Future Generations for a Tech-Driven World: Why Digital Literacy Matters

In an age where technology reigns supreme, preparing future generations for a tech-driven world has become paramount. The Significance Of Digital Literacy cannot be overstated, as it forms the bedrock upon which the success and adaptability of these generations will rest.

Digital literacy extends far beyond the surface-level understanding of gadgets and interfaces. It entails a comprehensive grasp of the digital landscape, encompassing the ability to navigate complex software, analyze data, and discern credible online information. This skill set will empower individuals to thrive in an era where Digital Fluency is synonymous with opportunity.

With the rapid advancement of automation and artificial intelligence, it is estimated that up to 85 million jobs could be displaced by 2025. However, this unsettling statistic comes with a silver lining – an array of new, tech-centric roles will emerge, driving demand for digitally adept professionals.

Digital literacy not only opens doors to Future Careers but also fuels innovation. Consider the case of a teenager who developed a ground-breaking mobile app to connect farmers directly with consumers, eliminating middlemen and increasing profits. This exemplifies how digital literacy nurtures innovative thinking and encourages proactive problem-solving.

Imagine a world where every child can Code. With digital literacy integrated into education, this vision is attainable. From coding basics to website design, students gain insights into the building blocks of technology, enabling them to interact with and shape the digital universe.

A poignant fact is that while 60% of all new jobs require skills possessed by only 20% of the workforce, fostering digital literacy can help bridge this gap. Future generations of technologically competent people will pave the way for Economic Advancement by fostering innovation and propelling societies into the digital era.

Yet, Comprehensive digital literacy is a journey that requires collaboration. It requires a collaborative effort between parents, educators, and policymakers. By imparting digital skills early on, parents set their children on a path to success in an increasingly digital society. Equally pivotal is the role of educators, who must embrace Technology as a tool for interactive learning, ensuring that students develop the digital competence they need.

Did you know that 70% of internet users globally are active Social Media users? This statistic highlights the inescapable presence of the digital realm in our lives. Navigating this space safely and critically is a vital aspect of digital literacy. By understanding online privacy, cyber threats, and digital etiquette, individuals can safeguard themselves and contribute to a responsible digital community.

Digital literacy is essential to prepare future generations for a world driven by technology. This transformative skill set gives people the ability to take opportunities, adapt to changing environments, and participate in a technologically advanced society.

As we embrace the digital era, let us collectively invest in nurturing digital literacy – a beacon guiding us toward a prosperous future. "Digital literacy is the bridge to the future. It empowers people to create, understand, and navigate the digital world, and to responsibly and critically engage with technology for the betterment of themselves and society." - Melinda Gates, Co-Chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

How to Monitor Your Residential School Student's Online Activity

With the rise of digital technology, parents are now faced with the stress and uncertainty of monitoring their children’s online activity. This task becomes even more daunting if your child is enrolled in a residential school.

 Even when your children are enrolled at top CBSE residential schools in Tamil Nadu for the 2023-24 school year, you, as a parent, still need to consider implementing effective strategies to ensure that your child is not exposed to any inappropriate information online. Here are some tips to help you keep your child safe and secure online.

 1. Encourage open communication with your child

Talk to your children about their online activities and ask them questions. This will help you understand the type of content they are exposed to, whom they communicate with, and any other activity that might concern you as a parent.

 2. Join them

Have you heard the phrase "If you can't beat them, join them"? When it comes to monitoring your child's internet activity, this might be the best approach. To track your child's online activity, check where they spend most of their time. What social media apps are they always on?

 3. Raise awareness about cyberbullying and online predators

 As a parent, it's important to educate your child about the potential dangers of the internet. Teach them what is appropriate and unacceptable behaviour when communicating online, and allow them to ask questions and build an open dialogue about the use of technology. Also, stay in touch with the school authorities about any online activities that your child is participating in to be sure that they are safe and secure.
