What are the main privacy concerns when using AAC devices and luggage tags?
Welcome to Tacuma Tech, I'm your host Rachel Madle, joined as always by Chris Bouguet. Hey Chris!
Hey Rachel. All right, let me ask you something. You do quite a bit of traveling, yeah?
Correct. I do a lot of traveling.
It's subject it's subjective, but I would say, you know, um I you're frequently on a plane and you have to carry your suitcase with you, right?
Truth. I am s I'm a super minimalist packer too, Chris. I'm always I'm a carry on girly.
Uh you and I are aligned in that way. It's like if I don't have to bring I get angry at myself if I brought too much I never use this thing. It's like, oh why did I bring it? You know?
Chris, you were like the most minimalist packer I've ever met. I'm like, how are you carrying a backpack for three days? Like this is insanity.
Um So something that uh I want to talk about a little bit here in relation to AAC in that is um when I was packing, my wife and I were packing to go to this uh trip to the to England, um, I realized that my talking with tech luggage tag that you had made for me ages ago got ripped off somewhere along the line and has disappeared. Um, you know, that is sort of a thing with me. Like those. Always seem to get ripped off and disap disappear. And um I made one this year uh for that trip where well I mean I actually made one with um for my daughter l over the the summer she did a Europe trip and made it made a luggage tag. And then I was like, oh, I'll make a similar one for Melissa and I for our luggage here.
And so I used um 3D printing uh software to uh it's called uh Tinkercad. It's free, anyone can make it. And I created a luggage tag that is 3D printed, and then I 3D printed it and hung it on my bag. Now here's the thing, this is what I wanna think about is as I was hanging it on that bag, I was like Anyone can see my name and anyone can see my email and I have my address on here. Is that cool? Like i if uh if if this was nineteen seventy nine and I was uh getting on a plane as a kid going to my grandma's by myself, we would have a tag on there and no one would think twice about it, but it's two thousand twenty four and I'm thinking Do I want people who I don't know Either like I'm sitting there at the airport and my tag's just out or now my bag goes off to who knows where and who's going to see it and they're gonna see that information.
Do I want them to have that information? Do I want them to know that I'm traveling? Right. For instance. Um, which maybe I'm over cautious and people listening are they like, Chris, like, no, it's fine. It's fine. Then I thought, okay, is there a thing I should have done? Should I have made it that it like closes or uh something that has a lid. So yes, it has something that you could open if you wanted to, but then it'd be f more effort than just sort of seeing it, right? Um so let me just stop there because I am getting to a point with AAC, but let me stop there. As a travel person, how do you typically do it and do you worry about stuff like that?
Um, it's interesting because as you were talking about this, I was like, yeah, like I this resonates with me, not necessarily with the travel, but just the fact that like I'm so public facing that like the moment someone knows my last name. Like, it just opens up a world of Vulnerability.
How can we balance strong passwords with fine‑motor challenges for AAC users?
You know, because I'm like one Google search away from you understanding so much about my life. Um, in ways that, you know, does feel a little alarming at times and a little scary. Um, and I have had some situations where I'm like, yikes, like this person like found my name and then my last name, and then like I've had some like really like sketch situations. Um, so I have thought about this. Um, I haven't thought about it specific to like the luggage tag. Um, but It is definitely worrisome to me, like at times. Like it's funny because I feel like um My friends all joke, like I'm so public facing, and like some of my friends are like more into like privacy and like, oh, like I don't wanna share a video on on Marco Polo because it's like it's it's not it's not safe.
