We started the day talking a little bit about trust, and did a little survey at the beginning. And the two big words that came across were transparency and education. And one of the things that struck me across all the sessions was the role that individual users are going to need to play in almost every aspect of trusts and security that we discussed during the day. In almost every session, there was this notion that we need to educate people, that there's going to have to be a behavioral change, because the weak link in almost all of it is actually the people more so than the technology. And so, you know, best practices, whether they're from NIST for cybersecurity, whether it's about learning more about phishing, all these different areas are going to be focused more on trying to get everyday users up a notch in terms of the way that they engage with the Internet. And so that's why the other question was an interesting one as well, about whether or not your trust in the Internet is really a trust in the Internet or a trust in yourself to be able to navigate the dangers of the Internet. And so maybe the the real answer that we're really confronting here is that we're going to really need to work together to build people's trust in themselves to navigate those dangers in the Internet, that that feel almost inevitable and ever evolving, etc. But giving people the education they need to navigate them better is really the key. So those are my thoughts from today. I hope it's been a useful day of sessions for you
