Cecilia Abadie (born in 1970)[1] is a Software Developer and Product Manager at Google. She received her Master's Degree in Information Systems from Universidad ORT Uruguay[2] and was able to get a job as a Software Consultant at GeneXus USA. Over the next several years, she would uphold many remarkable positions at numerous different technology companies until she finally settled down with Google in 2019, where she currently works as a Product Manager.[3] Throughout those years, she also became a speaker who gave presentations at multiple technology conferences regarding the new digital brain and how people need to start learning how to be transparent with the new digital age.[4]
After she had received a ticket for driving with Google Glass on, she posted about it online and gained much attention on social media as well as from news outlets. This led her to take her case to court and plead not guilty.[5] Her winning the case helped further prove her point that people should be open-minded and transparent when it comes to new age technology because it will be around forever.[4]
Cecilia Abadie was born in Argentina[6], lived in Montevideo, Uruguay during her early years, and currently resides in Montara, California. She is fluent in both Spanish and English as a result. During her high school years, she attended Juan XXIII junior high school in Montevideo, Uruguay, and after graduating, attended Universidad ORT Uruguay. She received a Systems Analyst Degree in 1989 and then a Master's Degree in Information Systems in 1995.

On October 29, 2013,[5] Abadie got pulled over by the police and given driving infractions for both driving over the speed limit and for wearing her Google Glass device while driving. She decided to challenge the ticket and pleaded not guilty in court for both charges.[5] After posting about it online, her ticket got a lot of attention, especially from multiple news outlets. [4] She eventually ends up winning the case since both charges got dropped, however, the judge states that Google Glass becomes a driving hazard if it's on.[1]
On October 13, 2012,[9] Abadie gave a TEDx Talk titled "Our new digital brain" at Temecula, California. Here, she talked about the possibility of the development of a new digital brain. Abadie explained how the global senses people acquire as a result of this new digital brain are shared collectively, leading to increased transparency and more value out of it. She ended her talk by exclaiming how people should embrace this newly found digital brain. [10]
On October 16, 2013, Abadie's TEDx Talk from Orange Coast titled "Resistance if futile" was posted. Here, she talked about her experiences of being an explorer of Google Glass and how this technology can help change lives. Abadie discussed how being transparent makes people become their better selves, allowing increased transparency will lead to decreased privacy. This is why, she explained, it is best to know how to deal with this transparency because it isn't going to go away.[11]
On December 20, 2013, Abadie's TEDx Talk from Temecula, California titled "The greatest risk of all is not taking one" was posted. Here, she talked about her experience of getting a driving infraction for speeding and for wearing Google Glass and posting about it online. Abadie discusses how the comments were controversial, where people were urging her to take this to court, criticizing why she decided to wear the glasses, and some were insulting her decisions. She eventually ended up getting interviewed by well-known news stations. Abadie concluded her talk by explaining how important it is to be authentic and vulnerable and not be scared of taking a risk.[4]
