Privacy screen filters are still not a thing

May 28, 2024 — Nico Cartron

As I was travelling back from Paris, I worked a bit from the train station lounge, where a lot of fellow business travelers also work from, while waiting for their train.

I was shocked by how few actually use a privacy screen filter!

I did a quick count: out of the ~15 people nearby me, only 1 actually used one!

I have been using such a filter for the past 15+ years, and nowadays I consider it as important as say... locking your laptop when you're not nearby.
(Yeah I know, I've seen a countless number of times pictures on Twitter of folks leaving leir laptop unlocked and unattended!).

It puzzles me that folks have no issue having strangers looking at what they're doing.

Note that the same applies to smartphones - I think there's even less people using a privacy screen filter for their Android or iOS devices!
