Cybercy- A critical intelligence for digital life now and into the future for all humankind.

Cybercy is the development of skills in knowing how the digital world works, what information we shed as a result of our active and passive engagement in it. Cybercy enables making sense of ones' engagement in the digital domain, knowing what information is generated, stored and used in our unavoidable engagement in it.

Cybercy enables us to engage in a positive and productive way in the digital world, how we can keep consistency between our physical and our digital self, how our communication is subject to the same mores and conventions and how established social function is carried between the physical and digital experiences. One example is 'privacy paradox' where people will insist that they care to protect that which is private yet continue to reveal personal information for even the smallest of reward in a digital context[1]

Developing Cybercy addresses a vacuum ,"[r]esearch related to ... security controls and mechanisms at the application, operating system, network, and physical layers has expanded at a prodigious rate in recent years in response to this growing threat. Yet, despite the recognition of the fact that the user layer continues to be weakest link in the security chain...most users continue to adopt an ostrich-like attitude toward the subject, believing there is little they can do on a personal level to take effective precautions, continuing to act without forethought for the consequence of their actions, including visiting unsafe websites, selecting trivial passwords, ignoring warning messages, and communicating with unauthenticated entities."[2].Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). Shoshana Zuboff argues that the digital world is “a universal global architecture of automatic sensors and smart capabilities: A "big other" that imposes a fundamentally new form of power and unprecedented concentrations of knowledge in private companies”Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

Why does Cybercy matter? Almost without our knowing it and without having left home, human beings have come to dwell in a new land – cyberspace. The benefits of this new world are myriad, but many of us lack understanding of its shadow side – how our data is stolen or sold and used to predict or manipulate our behaviour, how cyber habits affect our mental and relational health, how ‘big tech’ increasingly sets the global and political agenda. Even if we have an inkling of the dangers, we often feel ill equipped to engage them and cannot respond appropriately.[3]
