A conversation with 'Dave'

Supported by the Marie Trust

I found I was quite chaotic.

Using different emails all the time.

I was losing my phone and I was getting a new phone, creating different emails.

Digital footprint, as we've just learned there… it's obviously leaving a legacy.

I've never realised that.

I thought nobody’s going to be interested in that because I'm no.

It's really interesting. I really enjoy it.

I'm sort of a private person.

I don't really like phone calls or that and dealing with stuff like that, but I'm beginning to get a bit more confident with it.

I was always cautious on it… being weary what I'm doing here.

Naivety… I call it paranoia.

I don't want to use that in case somebody looks at it… or learning that they can’t.

One: why would they want to look at my stuff anyway.

Two: you need to be security conscious when you’re online.

We learnt about the cloud.

That was great because I just presumed it was an e-mail address and a password… that was it.

I didn't know it’s where it stores all your contacts… your photos… everything.

It's good to actually have it in case you do lose your phone because you can go back and retrieve it.

I never realised that.

I just always just open up a new account.

No, you can just keep all your stuff in one place.

Basically, getting my life, which was chaotic, less chaotic

Getting it in order so I can maybe better myself…

Come into the modern world instead of hiding in the house and not wanting to do anything because of fear.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

You can use it but use it wisely.

Wisdom.

It's teaching me wisdom.
