Not That Anyone Asked, but…
You have found the ‘About’ page where you get to listen to me prattling on about myself and how the shouldyou.click project came to fruition. Few have been so lucky to discover this page.
About the Author
I’ve slightly hidden this page, or at least, not made it entirely obvious to find but if you’ve made your way here then I’m going to milk this moment for everything it’s got. So, grab a coffee, sit back, hit play on the music below and … let’s begin.
Some people write to inspire. Others to Educate. I write because every sentence I don’t share is a tragedy for civilisation. Simply put, no one else can handle the weight of being so consistently flawless.
Burdened with clarity, cursed with articulation, my gift for noticing what others miss and strength to selflessly let them know is a sacrifice I endure on a daily basis.
Some people might call me a hero, a visionary, a shining example of humanities pinnacle but I’m not just superior to most people, I’m tortured by it. I care so deeply … about being heard …
Hold on, this isn’t LinkedIn.. stop the music.
About the Author – for realsies
I’m James. Jimmy to some, JD to others and Jimbob to one curious anomaly of a person. Personally, I like to rant.
I remember once, scrolling Facebook on my phone, when I came upon a post from a friend asking if anyone could check the spelling and grammar on their website and another friend of their replied ..
“I can do it if u like and does ur dad want anymore dvds the a quid now“
I choked on my coffee.
Professionally, I have spent years developing and delivering technical and cybersecurity training to audiences with varying levels of technical literacy, articulating complex topics in an accessible and entertaining manner, empowering people to identify and avert threats effectively.
The information here isn’t unique, it’s just my attempt at presenting it.
Clean, simple, and ad-free.
About the Website
I wanted to create a simple site to help guide and educate people on modern technical subjects that have started to become increasingly relevant for the average person. This website provides articles on various cyber security topics or technical subjects that border on the cyber security domain to help raise awareness, inform and educate people who have not grown up with or been exposed to technology. Every aspect of the site has been designed to make things as clear and engaging as possible.
Inspiration
Technology is being introduced, adapting, consolidating and fragmenting faster than ever before. People who have not grown up with or immersed themselves in technology are being left behind with little to no guidance on helping them understand or assimilate into this fast-paced culture.
Let’s take a modern example of this. Parking apps. Personally, I love them, but if you’re unfamiliar with some of the more advanced features of your mobile phone that so many take for granted and it’s the only form of payment available then a relatively simple thing, like parking a vehicle, suddenly becomes a frustrating and confusing experience.
What was once inserting a few coins into a machine has morphed into downloading an app, finding and opening the app, adding vehicle details, potentially scanning a QR code and setting up Apple/Google Pay. All without instructions. This entire process assumes you know how to do all of those things, that you know your Apple ID or Google Account password and that you don’t have any disabilities that make using your phone problematic.
Meanwhile, those of us who are more experienced with tech will just pull up, open the app, select the vehicle and pay. The whole process takes seconds.
People have a wide spectrum of technical literacy but are all held to the same expectations.
Audience
I’ve found that many people are eager to learn but don’t know where to begin or struggle with material that doesn’t understand its audience. It’s difficult to learn something if you don’t know what you don’t know. It’s like taking a drink from a fire hydrant.
