Trust-Tech is the use of technology to facilitate trust.
In a world of bots, trolls, critics, mean people, how do we know who we can and can’t trust?
Those of us who live in urban ares forced to interact with dozens of people a day, just to get by, but there is something… exhausting, about it all.
These thoughts and feelings are compeltely acceptable. There may never be a way to guaranttee that our Uber driver, or deliverer of our packages wish us well, but we can do better than leaving our lives in the hands of people we know nothing about!
This is where trust-technologies can assist us.
We have all heard the saying “it’s not what you know; it’s who you know.” If you are anything like me you probably just accepted it as a youth and moved on with your little, big life. What if I told you that this simple phrase is hiding a powerful message if we choose to examine it!
My friend Adam tells me he wants to be basketball player…I watch a little bit of basketball so I asked him who his top five favorite players are. He was having a hard time, so I decide to help: “LeBron James?”. Blank stare. “Michael Jordan?” Nothing.
Is it possible that Adam can become a pro basketball player without knowing these names?
How can he? He doesn’t know what “mamba-mentality” means but he’s gonna compete against kids who possess it? No.
In order to be, who we say we are, we have knowledge of, respect and adimration for, the people that paved the way for us; plain and simple.
If our respect and admiration is ONLY for one perron, we may be in a cult. If our respect and adimration is for 69 people, do we really respect all of those sixty-nine?
We have ten fingers, ten toes for a reason; it’s a reasonable enough reason to go for 10.
Tell me the ten people you respect and admire most, and I’ll know exactly who you are; if we can be friends or not.
We call this trustEyeD.
