You can buy using my account
you cut well
this attitude I do not know if it has been very
intelligent
Of course I hope it was
generous
intelligence is an abstract concept
has multiple definitions the
definition that the psychologist gives you
american what humphries is the ability
to develop skills that we
allow us to adapt to the environment
well now I’m going to tell you three
very different stories have nothing
to see the ones with each other
of different adaptations to the environment
then we’ll talk about how we’re doing
adapting us the environment in which
we have to live
what has changed so much in the past
years thanks to that we are surrounded by
technology and then we’ll give some for
finalize some details to be able to
develop these skills in this
new environment
the first story goes about bees
since my childhood
I remember the bees because my father
I had some hives that I took care of with
honey and that provided us in honey house
homemade
this lasted until a few years ago
a few years ago these bees
they disappeared they have been living for decades
in those hives my father went back to
try to place a swarm in this
hive and disappear again the
bees are disappearing all over the
world
all over the world they are having to
adapt to a change in your environment
the entomologists who are the scientists
who study bees are not clear
what’s going on
there are several usual suspects for a
pesticides side
on the other hand new predators that
humans we have introduced by
accident in the environment in the habitat of
the bees
this story of adaptation has not
finished we are living now not
we know if the bees will get
survive
it gives us a lot
let’s hope that although the second
The second story has nothing to
to see with this one is I met her
chance and it’s a a nurse that
He lived in a European city ago
a few years ago he made a couple of
decades she lived in an environment like the
our
very comfortable with services inside and outside
of home
you imagine that you use the switch
the light when returning now to our homes
and it turns on me once it has
passed and during the first hours by
a supply failure during the
first hours
well nothing happens when you start to
exhaust the battery of the mobile already you begin
to worry
imagine that that happens for several
years
good is this nurse and her family
they lived in Kosovo in the 90s
and in a matter of days he tells us in his
I tell that world in which I lived that was
very similar to ours changed
completely drastically stopped
be able to turn on the light when pressing
switch and no tap water came out
Well the police stopped patrolling
streets and was filled with criminals the
doctors left the hospitals the
firefighters stopped lowering kittens of the
trees
s in that in that drastic change
this nurse tells us how the
goods changed the value of the goods that
prior to that time they had the
maximum value in your society that is the
that won just like ours as the
jewelry and money stopped having value
they lost absolutely all their value
You can not eat money and jewelry
Do not heat your house when you are cold
all right
On the other hand, he also tells us that
incredibly an element of the most
common was the key to survival
of her and her whole family during being
critical I asked period a cylinder of
butane with that bottle they innovated and they
they came up with the business model of
filling lighters connected the gas from the
cylinder lighters that were not rechargeable
but the hackers got
recharge them and those lighters
they exchanged full of gas to another
people for com
and gives medicines that cured them or
even wood to heat your home not
there was natural gas there was no
service
we can consider good is this
nurse and practically almost all
members of his family survived
despite that, that period of several years of
war in which your home became
in the enel on the stage of a
battle
we can consider what is a is a
successful adaptation to the environment in which
they had to live
we go with the third story
we change completely from stage
tomorrow about 500 years ago in time
we all know the part of a lot of
this story
some explorers wanting to get to
Asia
sailing west leave from
Europe they come across a continent with the
that did not count in the middle that is
inhabited by the natives of that of
that continent
the first encounters end
uneven way in some cases crush
clean and other cases begin to do
very typical commercial exchanges
between humans and they exchange things
that they are interested in one another
some exchanger tells us the
legend in addition and some historians
they exchange ornaments for each other
things that does not have much value either
for Europeans as mirrors but
the natives did not know the technology
to make mirrors and it seems very
interesting they change it for its ornaments
bodily that are made of metals
precious that for them they do not have
excessive value when you return to your
continent of origin
these explorers show those those
riches that the new
world because that those ornaments that do not
they were so valuable to the natives
it turns out that on the European continent yes
that he had it was gold and silver
that generates funding for new
expeditions to discover more
territories start a kind of fever
of gold that makes many many
adventurers leave their continent to
go to that new world to seek wealth
and fortune that on the other hand it will be
denied in its continent of origin
just a small detail of what
it happened that we all know in 1519
Cortes arrived on the shores of Mexico with
400 soldiers
two years four months later the
Capital of the Aztec Empire Tenochtitlan
Teotitlán that moment was low
its control with 25 million people
fell under the dominion of Hernán Cortés
at that time the Iberian Peninsula
just had nine million
people that you may want for yourselves
an idea of the relative’s and the one’s
what was the difference between the two
between both countries
we can consider this history of the
Aztecs like they did not get
develop the necessary skills
to adapt to this new environment to the
that were submitted with the arrival
of these explorers well and now
let’s go back to us
good we are where we are immersed
we are immersed in an exciting world
that it did not exist 15 20 years ago that
we are hyperconnected is amazing
we have access to all the ted talks and
tex we have access to knowledge
human the wikipedia we can connect
with anyone speaking and sending
the videoconferencing messages we can
buy anything in any
world store that comes online and
send to our country
but not everything is positive like me
in my childhood I had the bad guy in the
neighborhood of which we have to go to
that will not steal your sandwich from
snack
some day I measure it vice portal
and had my mother to get her back
home right now all the bad things
of all neighborhoods around the world
are one click away from
same click away that you’re from
all human knowledge as
we can access all the knowledge
human
the cybercriminals are also at a
just click from our smartphone are
details that we have to take into account
to get an efficient adaptation
to this new environment we can not
stay with only with the charges
positive because as we adapt
in the real world to the existence of
we have to do it in
this century the world
On the other hand, there are some
some goods that we are not
by probably valuing so
correct
if I ask you where you were and what
you did on March 10, 20 years ago
I had to answer
in my case my memory is not photographic
and I barely remember in what city he lived
exactly what I was doing but
I could have been on a trip, not what
I remember however if we approach that
ask in time and I ask you what
you did on March 10 of last year
or two years ago maybe it’s your
memory is better than mine my case
It’s still just as bad and I remember it
vaguely because it is diluting but
I have the opportunity and the possibility of
access my emails from heem daily mail
and seeing that he sent or received that day
It does well to my conversations guasa
asking with whom he chatted lake and that I
and that we comment even seeing what
videos visualize in youtube what music
listen with all that I can remember
much more clearly than I did that day
I can also remember exactly by
what location is new and thanks to
google maps
Well that memory is great but it’s not
here it does not belong to us we have given it to
those providers of these services and
well I do not know in your case
in my case in most of those of
services
It has been a great change that is good for me
I give you my data and you give me the
service
it seemed to me it seemed an exchange
pretty pretty cool for me
good until I started to investigate already
get into this world and I started to feel
a bit like those indigenous natives
Americans who exchanged their gold for
few mirrors
we have to evaluate if
We are really making a good deal
or we could improve it and negotiate
new this this agreement that we have with
with those providers and in the first step
is to know what those data are
are part of this memory that now
no longer form is no longer within
our heads but we will be
delegated these providers that you
we have come to this
they are data and the data that is the data
the data are the answers to these
questions with whom we are
what do we do where when and what videos
we buy music we listen
all that is data
all that part of our
memory is what these store
suppliers and now the key is in
to know if we are doing a good
deal, we could be doing the same
treatment of the natives were doing is
value that good that previously not no
we had because our memory was going
diluting and now we store in in that
external memory of our suppliers
you know how much would pay whatsapp for
your mobile phone number if not
he has it yet I do not have the
answer to that question
Mr. Gerber has it but yes
we can extrapolate with the
data that we know and is that in 2014
facebook paid 19 billion dollars
americans by whatsapp whatsapp in
that time he had 450 million
users among whom I was
that means doing a simple
facebook division paid 42 dollars for
have my mobile phone number
of mobile phone and contacts with
those who relate to me and there is a small
detail
facebook is not a Wikipedia ong this is
an NGO is in a foundation and promotes
human knowledge but facebook does not
facebook paid 42 dollars for my number
that is for them a cost or
be that they plan to take out much more
money make a profit from that of that
investment
that is, these data have a value
this if only one example
the world is full of them for another
side not salame not only the ones
services with which we have done these
deals are behind our data
there are many cyber criminals who
they dedicated to subtract the these data are
real and very recent for an account
real paypal user and his password
you can get to pay
up to 200 US dollars for one
Netflix account or service spotify
the $ 10 and for a
normal mail one dollar
well that seems very ridiculous but the
issue is that these cyber criminals what
what they do is steal the databases of
serial passwords for services
internet that they do not put measures
of appropriate security obviously and
accessing those to those databases
of passwords that have tens and
even hundreds of millions of
users
get then put them on the market
black and then that dollar for a
account is already starting to look better
business truth once we know that
we really have something valuable that
protect is when we need to start
develop the skills for
get adapted as they did
that nurse in Kosovo from whom you
I spoke before
the key to the skills is
also identify what are the
abilities
These are some pretty cookies
customers some nice cookies cookies
that we have in the browser
some of them may not be so
pretty can be devoted to track everything
everything we do on the internet
where do you browse when and with what
frequency that videos we see the pole
we also need to develop the
adequate skills to protect them
when we are adults exclusively for
protect us and we are parents
we also have to teach you these
protection skills to our
children there are no digital natives
they know how to find what is the
triangle in which to press and that
Play the YouTube video or create
a group in whatsapp but in what
we are experts adults is to manage
the risks that make us adapt
improve the environment and that’s what
I got we have to also
transmit to our children just as
we teach them to cross Miranda street
left and right to avoid
risks
we have to get to convey to them that
when crossing a virtual street you have to
look left and virtual right
okay, now let’s move on to a
didactic part in which really
let’s see what is the key by which
can we even ni
this is this protection of our
digital life and the first the first
rung are the passwords passwords
but we all have passwords
we need good passwords to
protect our internet services
and that memory is still our
although we have delegates in first
place a good password has four
features is unforgettable
if you forget the house keys not
they do not enter the bad
in your house but it is not unpredictable either
all that information that you have to
share publicly and is known
our birthday the name of our
pet
you know what you have to share
those those those data are not good
passwords because they could be
Easily eliminate the other two
the other two characteristics of unique and
young they attack how the
cybercriminals use that are
able to take our
passwords has to be unique and not the
we can repeat between the different
services so that when he rolled in the
database of a service does not affect
another of the services in which we have
configured the same password and has
to be young
that means we have to renew it
to mature so good when they use
more harder mechanisms brute force
to try to try all the
passwords can not get to discover
we’re going to see how you can make a
unforgettable and unpredictable password
a very simple way simply
you have to think a phrase that stops
we for you be unforgettable
from that phrase take the first letter the
initial and the board jce has to give a
word that is not in the dictionary if
no no it does not usually happen but sometimes
it happens now the nose a little salt and
one digit and pepper to something other than
not a digit in a letter something that can
be a more or less joined a point a
as two points, it is worth any digit
make it unforgettable for you and the and
the symbol that is also lunnis and
do not use that order use the one that you
you want the more random the better and
you have a very good passwords accounts
more words better that’s a good
password and now we get like this some
my password is happening and approved
of amazon will have realized that
Amazon has sent burning has not
let in because amazon has asked me
to me that let him enter using a
a second key that I do not know and
why is not he been able to give us
for another reason that key has sent me
by SMS to my mobile phone
this is like placing another bolt in
your houses and should be done with
those accounts that considered more
vulnerable and more important as
those in which for example you have
means of payment associated as paypal to
hair or amazon
with this one with this one with this mechanism
you can better use those accounts
which are more more critical and you could
reduce the frequency with which
you need to change the password could
be less young because the code always
change this if you want to configure it
called second authentication factor and
so it appears in the configuration part
of our services
allows it in all the big
google amazon internet services
microsoft facebook twitter
finally I know what you are thinking
ship has told me that it is only step of you
step on you because I have dozens of
services I can not generate dozens of
good passwords can generate a two
three
but not tens or hundreds how would it be
My case
Well, there have already been humans who
have stumbled over that stone and have
solved that problem has developed the
skill needed to adapt to your
environment and have created a safe
virtual where you can put all your
passwords the tens or hundreds in
the cyber paper that you do not have to
know then close that virtual box and you
you put a good password
out there this time it does give you access to
all the others you just have to
remember that good password that gives you
access to this virtual box and the rest
they’re inside
that’s how simple this is called password
manager well this is simply the
first episode the attack of the
passwords of some wars that we’re
freeing because like bees this does not
the war of privacy has ended
as said famous inscription
when we knew the answers we
they changed the questions but we
let’s evolve generating the
Necessary skills to adapt
to the new environment and we will get it back
the answers
thank you very much
