In a press conference in March 2015 Hillary Clinton said ‘When I got to work as secretary of state, I opted for convenience to use my personal email account… because I thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work.’ This statement is interesting for many reasons, one of which is not how exceptional it is, but how unexceptional, and how well it summarizes the prevailing sentiment about personal devices and convenience. Any number of people in business or government could have made a similar statement–it represents the thinking of government, business and individuals all across the world. Note that what is being referred to as convenient isn’t using a personal device or of using personal email, but of having to ‘carry just one.’
