I guess learning "someone elses' computer isn't yours" is a lesson best taught early on?

I know fellow millenials that use their work computers for personal reasons. And thats some of the stupidest things you can do. Dont use work or school hardware for personal reasons.

I'd also say, if you're running Windows you're also surveilled to hell and back as well. Linux is basically the only platform thats not.

And as to larger surveillance, its pervading everywhere. Work. School. Driving (Flock). Commercial web. "Free" services.

I'm glad I grew up in one of the last generations that wasn't habitually online. I did loads of "troublesome behavior", that never followed me. Now, some thing will be captured with a smartphone and memorialized forever. And that... Alas. (Old man yelling at cloud, I guess?)
