Week 14



Privacy, Online and Off

When watching the Ted Talk videos there was a lot of information that I took and a few things that stuck out to me. The Ted Talk about the tattoos I found very interesting. The video said, what if from all our social media sites were like electronic tattoos and they provided as much information as a tattoo on your body did. This was an interesting comparison and one that I had not thought about before. That being said, social media sites can give so much information away about you that you weren't aware of and it makes all your information exposed just as it does when you have a tattoo on your body in plain sight for everyone to see. In the video it also mentions there is a face company that has a database of all the different faces that have been posted on the internet and Facebook actually bought this company in 2012. Things like this we don't even know exist are out there and we may not have as much privacy as we think we do.

After watching the Ted Talk about all the information police have about us without our knowledge was shocking to me. Apparently there is some software they can use that tells them everywhere you are going in you car and this can be accessed for no reason. They can have all this data just by your car plate. Some of the data includes where you are going and who you are even with and pictures of it all. To me this seems very absurd and is crazy how they can access that without a reason to. Even creepy how people are sitting around looking at this stuff without us even knowing it.
