What the world knows about [Chris Dancy](https://www.chrisdancy.com/): He is the most connected human on earth. What we know about him (because he visited us): He's a very stimulating, likeable guy, who knows about the [power of the data](http://data.chrisdancy.com/) we all produce every day. The days with Chris were very inspiring and we created two videos to try encapsulate his ideas.

In **part 1**, our very own [Shaun Behrens](https://blog.paessler.com/author/shaun-behrens) talks with Chris about the difference between tech dependency and tech enablement, as well as the distinction between privacy and empowerment.
