It is said that students at American universities have adopted the Tinder dating app so much that they no longer form relationships in any other way. And that whoever has not signed up to Tinder is treated as an outcast, as a strange person, as – perhaps – “problematic”…
But isn’t this dangerous anymore, in the post-covid era? Shouldn’t the “acquaintance” app be supplemented by another “health certification” app? It should.
Three American universities have put forward from the beginning of May the development of a mobile application that will detect covid-19 symptoms in its users, along with their location – in real time. At the same time it will create “risk maps” of the campuses, properly marking the areas where clusters of cases have appeared. It is logical that one does not only open healthy batches with “carriers”, but does not even approach the benches and parks where the old covid-19 may have set up an ambush!
These young men and women, who hope to be tomorrow’s leaders but will probably be tomorrow’s debtors from the student loans they take, shouldn’t perhaps have some increased awareness of their personal data and their fate?
It doesn’t seem so at the moment… Perhaps after a generation or two, their children or grandchildren will realize how foolish the millennials were…
