BOC , Week 5 WSJ Privacy

After reading the article and after being on social networks I think there’s no privacy anymore. The only privacy is the do not disturb sign you hang on the door at a hotel. I remember growing up that when meeting someone you wanted to know there hobbies, and what kind of music that they listen to. Now technology has made it that just one click and just one purchase they know everything that interests you in a matter of 2 minutes. “WSJ Privacy article.”

Facebook is known for information about you and what you like to do and where you like to shop. Just by clicking the like button on a pair of shoes little did you know that you just gave thousands of company’s your personal information? “Tracking technology is getting smarter and more intrusive”. I can’t believe that by letting a social network like face book know my shopping habits now I’m on the sucker list. I should have known that by answering these questions it was no good.

I have noticed that everywhere you shop now they want your email, address, telephone that’s irritating. Why can’t they just ask for my one thing and not my life? I’m started to feel invaded and I’m getting to the point that I don’t want to give them any information. I know that they’re data tracking me as I ‘m at the register. The biggest company that does this is Justice for kids they want to know so much about you and what brought you into the store.

In conclusion, I’m not going to stop shopping at these stores anytime soon so I need to just face the fact that people are going to be nosey. Technology is how the world works today and will continue to work for a long time. “Tracking isn’t new”.
