Read More »While smartphones are the epitome of modern convenience, these devices which store our personal and professional information like emails, photos, bank details etc. can easily fall prey to hackers and to other malicious activities. With the recent series of data breaches across businesses globally, the concern regarding protecting user data has become more relevant than before. There are many applications in your smartphones that access your private data by taking permissions through pop-ups or otherwise. You would notice apps like third-party applications, flashlights, etc. asking permissions to access your gallery, messages, calls, which they don’t need. Allowing these third-party applications access to your smartphone's data puts your information at risk. Hardip Singh, Executive Director, Optiemus Infracom, feels that the dirty little secret that these ubiquitous devices, which we have with us 24X7, and keep switched on for most of the time, is also a serious threat to our privacy.

His subjects are the people who live (and die) with grizzly bears in the Alaskan wilderness, the aviation engineer trying to fly through South American rainforests, or Antarctic scientists isolated at the “end of the world.” At the heart of these documentaries is the disconnect between the nature-loving subjects and Herzog’s Germanic skepticism. In the celebrated Grizzly Man, about the bear advocate Timothy Treadwell, Herzog states “that in all the faces of all the bears that Treadwell ever filmed, I discover no kinship, no understanding, no mercy.” But in his 2016 documentary, Lo and Behold, Reveries of the Connected World—which is currently streaming on Netflix—Herzog turns his existential eye to the center of modern civilization: the Internet. There, he finds a similar mix of marvels and horrors as he does in the extremes of nature.
