Ads on YouTube have to be one of the most annoying new additions to the internet, but once in a while something interesting pops up. I thought it was even more appropriate as we were doing so much discussion on privacy in class.
The company 3M has begun distributing their own brand of "privacy filters". Really nothing more than a thin film which can be applied to the screens of your laptops, monitors, or even smart phones. Not only will this protect your screen from a variety of exterior damages, but these filters are designed to obscure the screen so that it cannot be read from an improper angle. This helps to eliminate the age old problem of "shoulder-surfing", a flaw in security which no programmer could fix. Take a look for a bit more info, or to buy one for yourself.

This looks awesome! There is nothing I hate more than having to worry that other people are reading my messages/emails/notes while I type away in class. I actually purposely tilt my screen as far back as I can so that I am the only one that can see it. It's a pain but I would rather do that than have people read my personal information.
ReplyDeleteThis on the other hand seems like the perfect solution! Definitely going to look into this some more.
