iDontwanttogethacked: My Dream of Becoming a Mobile Application Developer to Address Privacy Issues

An iPad and iPhone side-by-side

I have always wanted to pursue the job of being a Mobile Application Developer. As a person that often uses mobile gadgets, I have seen the importance of the people behind the creation of the applications and interfaces that make our lives better and easier. If someone were to total the number of hours I have spent on my cellphone and tablet, it would most likely exceed one hundred (100) hours. Having said that, it goes to show just how often I use my mobile gadgets and I believe that it is important to be a Mobile Application Developer so that I can help improve the daily use and consumption of those with mobile gadgets. 

"Genshin Impact" and its Privacy Issues

During this new normal, more and more people have been starting to depend on their mobile gadgets, may it be for leisure, entertainment, or for business. For example, if one were to buy something from an online business, one would have to enter their personal details, such as their name, contact details, credit card information, and other important details. It is very important that these details are kept private and only for the use of the person intended to. Recently, I have been addicted to this mobile game called "Genshin Impact." The developers of Genshin Impact have been under fire for various privacy issues where players lose their accounts or at risk of being hacked due to a lack of security protocols. Of course, this problem is not only limited to Genshin Impact but other applications as well. The risk of users losing their privacy and having their security and information compromised is a problem that must be addressed. I want to become a Mobile Application Developer for that very reason and I wish to improve and develop these security protocols so that users will no longer feel at risk of losing their important data.
