personal and empowering experience;
t he phone we carry reflect s our image,
aspirat ions, pass-t imes and social
habit s. So it is no wonder t hat each
year more t han 1.6 billio n new cell
,
phones are sold, and t he average
American cell phone is replaced every 22
mo nt hs. You probably don’t realize how
much personal informat ion is on your old
device; all your old emails, t ext
messages, cont act s, GPS locat ions,
phot os, videos (t he list goes on and
on). None of t his informat ion should
ever be allowed t o end up in t he hands
of a complet e st ranger
