Can there a be a waiver so people born after 2000 don’t have to take the Cyber Awareness training?
I grew up in a generation that has always been surrounded computers. In fact, I would go so far as to say that at least a third of my lived experience has played out on some type of electronic device. So why must I continue to be subjected to the same tedious and repetitive cyber awareness training at every stage? Think about it. Every school. Every extracurricular. Every volunteer program. Every summer internship. The list goes on. No matter how different in content, they’re all the same — liability coverage dressed as a call to service to educate me on my internet usage WITHOUT being able to fast forward or skip. Can we just accept that the entering class of 2029 at UVA Law has encountered this before? What ever happened to a good old terms of use that you can just scroll to the bottom on, check “I agree,” and submit? The irony is, a sharp 10-minute introduction to why organizations should be aware of this in the context of law could actually do us some help. Instead, here I am, clicking through the same cyber awareness training as an Applebee’s server, wondering which of us is apt to drive their head through a wall first.
