I think that privacy as we think of it is going to go the way of the dinosaurs. Something will survive to evolve into chickens and robins and cardinals and shoebills but Privacy writ large will not survive.

For privacy as we know it to come back and also persist, you need to make John and Jane Q. Public give a damn about digital security. And you cannot force the public to give a damn about digital security.

Yes, the technology needs to be better/more accessible so that non compsci majors can have a hope of understanding what's going on.

AND.

People, average, 6th grade reading level people, have to give a damn. And they don't. They have bigger problems like rent, medical bills, childcare.
