For Public Computers – it’s a Privacy Mat

How it works:

Step on and enter personal information (shipping address, phone number) then

Step off and the last session is instantly erased. Step back on, a new fresh form awaits.

Clever eh!  Why don’t we see more of these.

How about libraries, airport terminals, internet cafes and store loyalty program signup kiosks.

Spotted at Lee Valley Hardware, that store’s cool eh. I was there buying magnets, and from 2008-10 I included one of their pocket screwdrivers in my thank you cards.

 

 

Notice What Option is Missing?

It’s a screenshot of my iPhone settings I took while in the USA last week.

Answer – Personal Hotspot

Canada telecoms allow us to connect our laptops via our phones, to Hotspot.

The States isn’t into them. Instead, they use MiFis – a stand-alone device that looks like this – 2nd last photo.

Remember: you are legally responsible for anyone who uses your HotSpot.
