Well I didn’t really know you could
check all this stuff. I didn’t know that the internet had so much documented
information on what it is that I look up. I saw that it said I was interested
in four things most of all based on my search, it said based on websites I am
interested in Movies, T.V. and video, sports, and parenting. I think all of
these are quite accurate to who I am except for the parenting one, that just made
no sense to me. Otherwise I watch a lot of TV shows and YouTube videos on the
internet and I am huge into sports so I understand the rest. The ads that it
shows that go along with my searches didn’t make a lot of sense to me though. I
said banking, Fitness, hygiene and toiletries, and recording industry. I
understood the fitness advertisement but I had no idea why the rest of them
would be ads that I would want to see. I already have a bank and I don’t search
for toiletries. The recording industry might be because of all the music that I
listen to but that is just a guess. I was surprised it showed so much though. I
thought that the amount of stuff the Facebook had off of my profile was crazy.
It knew my wall activity who I talk to, what I post. They just keep tabs on all
the stuff you do. It seemed like a more extreme version of what google did with
my searches but instead they did it with my social media experience it was
interesting to see that I am the same on both places.
It was a little troubling to me
that they keep all of these taps on you as you search. I find it cool that they
can describe me so well but it also kind of creeps me out that they keep so
much data about you. I think that Facebook might have a little too much stored
on a person. I know it’s already on your profile but what if you get rid of it,
they will still have all of that information. I just don’t know how I feel about a company
having all this info on me either. I feel like businesses could find a way to
start selling the things they know about you to other companies and I’m not so
sure how I feel about that. It just
seems weird that every time I look something up company somewhere is trying to
figure me out. I also feel like it could be defined as spying but it is the web
and is anything really private when you are on the web. It’s not bad it’s just
a little weird to think about. At this point though it seems like it is just
being used to make your social media experience a little more to your liking. I
guess this is just where the world is headed if we like it or not but it has
its positives and negatives.
