Humans are so dependent on technology to get through the day, some of us wonder how we were able to manage in the past. With that dependence though, we have sacrificed one crucial part of our lives. Privacy. Privacy is one of those things we claim we all want, yet we post our lives away on various social media platforms. But then there are many of us that try to be as private as possible, but in trying to do so, we still have to utilize the messaging tools that are made available to us to communicate with our fellow humans. Sadly, this means someone with certain powers at their disposal, can peak in on those private moments.
So in comes the Blackphone. A new Android powered device, that is set on keeping those NSA boys out of our business. The phone was developed by Silent Circle and Geeksphone, and it runs a version of Android called PrivatOS. The OS is specifically designed to hide our digital footprint, and the company claims that you can make calls, send messages, and transfer files, without anyone eves dropping in. The company plans on showing off more about the Blackphone at MWC in Barcelona this year.
