The podcasts that I listened to has made me think about how the activity that I have gives other people information (without my knowledge). Personally, I’m not completely concerned in regards to companies viewing my feed in order to advertise things that would interest me. Those are meant to give the viewer a better experience, along with giving companies an idea of what the majority of the population likes (more ideas for selling products) (Goldbeck). However, I do not like how companies have the capability to use my feed in order to find characteristics that are more personal towards me (gender, personality, etc). I think that data collection is good to an extent. As long as it is not intruding on your personal space, in regards to information that other people do not have any business knowing about. Therefore, I have mixed feelings towards data collection
