Summary | Privacy expert Mark Weinstein shares some tips to protect your privacy online: use safe internet browsers, be careful where you search (for instance, Google saves all of your searches), WhatsApp is not as private as what you might think, use a cloud storage that can't see your information, etc. We should be worried about our privacy in the future as governments are trying to get backdoor access to apps and digital devices. Millennials seem to be the ones that are most concerned about their online privacy.

Summary | It is imperative for everyone who wants to stay updated in their field to keep educating themselves. Traditinally, this education happened in company seminars but there are increasingly more online courses on offer. MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses) are a modern alternative where teachers and students never meet in person but interact entirely digitally. A course design in between the two is called "blended learning" where students first self-educate online and meet up in a seminar later on. Hot topics in further education of professionals are all things connected to technology and especially topics around privacy.
