I have learned that technology is good or bad, it depends how it’s used for people. As I read the book it really opened my eyes on how algorithms work in our world and how it depended on in our everyday life. I read how on media and ads that pops up on your phone are to target people to manipulate what interest them or buy something. I’ve learned from the book there are a lot of different scenarios of how people live, race, gender, different economic classes allow the algorithms influence in our lives. It made me more observing how out society is set up, not knowing your own will or freedom. I’ve remember in my younger age always posting and looking on what’s trending. Now I’m more mature, I’m aware of things and not always on media. I see it as my data will not be taken as much if i’m not always on like I was at my younger age.

As I read Privacy Paradox “what your phone knows” as I look at my privacy setting on my phone, to see what apps are taking metadata from me without me knowing. When I looked at the app setting, I believe it meant the location setting on each app I use that usually ask for it. I had already set that up, when I first got my phone to not turn my location on. I was not worried because the setting for the location are off on most of my apps, only a few are not. What I mean a few are not, I set it up as the location is on only if I am using the app. I see how our privacy are limited by what people post on media and some can take information without our knowledge. If you don’t want people to know your privacy, then don’t post valuable information or nothing at all.
