Delete Liza Zanozina When I open my laptop, the first thing I see is a small sticker covering my camera. ‘Hello,’ I say, and it smiles back at me as if saying ‘Do not fret! I will protect you’. I seem to believe it every time. Funny how a simple sticker makes you feel safe and secure. A lot more than, let’s say, bars on your windows. We don’t even have them anymore, do we? Neither do we have security guards in the lobby. CCTV does just fine. But what if someone puts a pink smiley sticker on it, too? I open my browser to check my email. Am I waiting for something important? Well, hard to say, but you never know, right? A rain of ads falls down on me. And even if there was something important, it would probably sink in the ocean of all these commercials. When did I even sign up for all of this? I take a sip of my chamomile tea and read the first heading:
YOUR ACCESS TO THE FREE WEBINAR EXPIRES TODAY
Can’t they stop? I already have FOMO, so, please, people, don’t make it worse. Delete.
Another sip, another heading:
INTERESTED IN MEASURING ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF SOLUTIONS?
‘Hell, no,’ I say to myself wondering what I did wrong to receive such an awful email. Well, maybe someone who really, really hates me has put me on a subscription list? Delete. 25
