In this second episode of Tech & Tonic we have Vernon Chan of vernonchan.com with us! We spoke at length about whether or not you should buy your smartphone on pre-orders, with cash, or on an installment plan with the telcos. Data privacy is a topic quite dear to our hearts and since Vernon deactivated his Facebook nearly a year ago, he has not gone back since. We explore a little deeper on why he quit Facebook, what we give up with Social Media platforms or even emails. We tickled his brains on how he protects himself online too; something to learn!
