Data Privacy in the Modern Age

Like the article before in the modern age we are going to have to deal with being aware of where our information, either it private or not, is being shared. In the article it states there are big computers to take in information and processes it and puts it into different bins where they are stored. As always there is a big fear of someone stealing valuable information that can be used against you or taken from you. But i feel it is up to us to keep tract of where the information is going and we use it. Also we need to stay up to date on how companies or people are getting information and where it is being stored and used. Simple things as letting an app use your location all the way up to your financial records. As long as we keep ourselves informed of the ongoing modern age of technology and information, the better off we will be when making those decisions.

Data Worth

After reading the article I find it very informative! It interesting to think that little pieces of our data are being recorded and then sold to companies to gather information about their users. Its crazy to think that even something as little as you were sick today can be sold off to help you find ways or get information about it. Now some will say that they are taking private information and using it for their own gain. Which is true but im a true believer in that most companies that do buy information use it to help their customers more than actually using it for self gain.
