The non-stop news pounding American voters surrounding cybersecurity and the United States electoral system is having a major impact with 45 percent believing the upcoming midterm election will be influenced by a cyberattack.
It is barely 20 years since Sergey Brin and Larry Page registered the domain name google.com, and only 10 years since Steve Jobs walked onto a stage in San Francisco and introduced the iPhone. Yet in this short period, digital technologies have upended our world.
We introduced the Digital Evolution Index in HBR in 2015 to trace the emergence of a “digital planet,” how physical interactions — in communications, social and political exchange, commerce, media and entertainment — are being displaced by digitally mediated ones.

Google runs lots of different systems, and they all store data about you. There’s the search engine itself, of course, which knows what you’ve been looking for on the web. Then there’s Youtube, Blogger, Calendar, your Google Drive, Hangouts, Gmail and more.
If you want to download a copy of all the data about you that’s held on Google’s servers, it’s actually surprisingly easy.

Chances are, you’re looking to squeeze out as much performance from your Linux servers and desktops as possible. This is especially so with regards to networking. With Linux, there are so many tweaks you can undertake to optimize a machine, it’s mind blowing.
One such tweak that can significantly decrease your DNS lookups is by adding dnsmasq into the mix.
Dnsmasq is a lightweight DHCP and DNS caching nameserver. Unlike BIND, dnsmasq is incredibly simple to get up and running. The benefits of adding this will be quite obvious (like your DNS queries getting dramatically faster).

Where momentum is picking up, and where it’s stalling out.
The Internet of Things is a fascinating concept that has occupied our minds for decades, only this time around, it’s a reality. IoT opens up a world of possibilities. The benefits are obvious….
…While that is all great, the problem with IoT is that it’s a centralized system, meaning that all devices are connected online inside the cloud. But such communication is far from optimal in case they are only a few feet apart, which is often the case with household electronics. And there is also the fact that, as the IoT becomes more present, it requires a much larger and more complex infrastructure, which will drive the price up, according to Mitch Bailey, who is the head of IT for Assignment Masters. He also points out that the solution might lie within blockchain, which is what Bitcoin relies on today.
