Book Information
Book Description
It is unlikely a connected person can conduct many activities in their day without technology accumulating and storing data created by their activities and online interactions with other people. Technology is a driving feature of many individuals’ lives, but few users understand what is happening behind its functional level. Large amounts of personal data are being generated from the multitude of technological devices we interact with each day that are stored by manufacturers and service providers and used for profiling and sale. Once this data is generated and stored, evidence of activity remains on the devices and/or corporate servers where it can be used to build a profile on an individual including their personality which becomes more accurate as more data is accumulated.
Where people forget what they have done, technology never does.
