Re: Singapore is vulnerable in many ways, too...
@Ariella - good point. Should I ever reach that level, by that time, I would imagine technology would have progressed enough to offer me seemless internet services..... Of course, since this is a fairy tale, I might as well also have the cash to ensure that will be the case. :-)

@mhhf1ve when you're that rich, you get to have your cake and eat it, too, so to speak.

Re: Singapore is vulnerable in many ways, too...
If you really want to live on a "deserted island".. I don't think you'd fit the profile for wanting a high speed internet connection. Unless you're Larry Ellison or Mark Zuckerberg.

Re: Singapore is vulnerable in many ways, too...
@mhhf1ve - that's an extremely valid point and one I never considered. Something to think about if that "living on a deserted island" thing ever pans out for me. Though connectivity might not be a high priority if that ever comes about.

Singapore is vulnerable in many ways, too...
Being a small island nation also has some unique hazards -- such as limited connectivity to the rest of the world when undersea fiber cables are cut (accidentally or otherwise).

Re: Singapore Tops at Cybersecurity
I'm sure Singapore is the target of plenty of corporate espionage trying to steal its advanced technologies and know-how to be replicated in other nations. But that's pretty much par for the course for any country that has significant intellectual property.

Re: Singapore Tops at Cybersecurity
@mhhf1ve - Lol, my guess would be the latter, she has a certain file size to obide by so obviously the US Government does too. 

Accurate analysis of the hacking of the elections in Singapore as well. Lol. Though I would hope that kind of thing would be taken into account when bragging about the technology Singapore has achieved. Maybe I'm wrong there.

Yup. I doubt any foreign nation is trying to interfere with Singapore's national elections... (digtally or otherwise)

Impossible? Because she still thinks of computers with vacuum tubes and a maximum of 64Kb of memory? 

Or... because whenever she tries to send an email attachment, her email client gives her an error that says "attached file is too large".....?

Re: Singapore Tops at Cybersecurity
@mhhf1ve - I don't know, have you seen some of the conspiracy theories floating around, and the people that believe them? I saw a lady the other day who laughed finding it impossible that all of the voter registration information for the entire country could be transmitted via email. I think a fair number of people have an inaccurate understanding of what our current technology is capable of. Realistically, there are probably people on both sides of that spectrum.
