2030: Privacy's Dead. What happens next?

Thanks to all the dConstruct folks at the Brighton Dome: crew, volunteers, and audience!

What I find most interesting about this is brutal truth in "Privacy was already dead in 2014, we just hadn't realized it yet".

[Breakfast]

Tom, your talks terrify me sometimes.

[sporter]

"This Sea Shanty band won't ever reach number 1."
2021 says hi.

[Xenuos]

2030: "We've updated our privacy policy."

[MickyVideo]

Can't wait to see the "Like if you're watching in 2030" comment.

[cruxmind]

Tom Scott is like a social media Stephan Hawking. I adore his way of storytelling opinions that are needed to be discussed.

2030: "we've deleted our privacy policy"

[erictaylor]

Many of the teenagers of 2030 are ALREADY ALIVE!
Update: Now that it is 2018, we are less than 12 years away from 2030. Anyone born after 31 December 2017 will not be 13 until 2031.

Legends say that Tom has been wearing that same red shirt for more than 20 years

"Yes, knowing the identity of every face in the mob is devastating knowledge, but that won't stop them from storming the gates of your palace if they're already there."
*Damn* now there's a good line.

2030: Privacy's Dead. What happens next?
But everytime Tom sighs it gets faster

[kagitsune]

"everyone knows that a folk rock sea shanty band isn't going to make to the top of the Radio 1 playlist"

*_welcome to late 2020_*

tom scott: “a magical currency based on a credit score of reputation”
china: yes, i’m listening.

2014: Everyone laughs at a comment about getting info from Twitter.

Now: Twitter is the primary way to get info from the US President

[TRVladdy]

Its incredible how well this story is written.
Everything that is being said, is being said with a purpose and makes you reflect on our current time and just how much it makes sense.
Tom Scott you are a freaking legend.

For anyone keeping track, modern-day Google Assistant is now quite capable of solving the "Where should we eat tonight" problem.

Me in 2030: "Kids these days! And their fancy Mind Reading! Back in my days, you'd get to chose which parts of your opinions you'd yell at people on the internet!"

Tom Scott predicted Tiktok: “You still need an editor to package up the highlights… and put it together for consumption. Powered by measuring attention responses and constant A/B testing.
Everyone is providing a life log for their friends, and if they’re good at it, an audience beyond that as well. They’re the ones getting sponsorship and product placement.”

I can't wait to get memes streamed to me at 800 wpm 24/7

I love how the there's this... horrified silence in the crowd.
The silence when someone tells you that in 15-16 years the end of the world is coming and it may be good, it may be bad, but it's coming.
And about the smartphones thing? He's absolutely right. I suddenly remembered that no, I didn't always had an iPhone, before that I had the Nokia 3310 brick. Before he mentioned that specific part I never really thought about that...
