Week 9 post

 “Big Data" collects all aspects of your personal interactions on websites, mobile devices, and even IoT.

 I have personally had experience where my personal information was collected on websites or mobile phones. Sometimes when I am having a conversation about an item I want, and the think I see on my phone an ad of that same item pops up. If I search for an item on amazon I receive an ad via email of the same item from eBay, and sometimes Intergram displays an ad of the same item. 

You never know what information they collect, and they collect your personal information, personally I think they should not be allowed to collect the information they collect from users. Some applications track and store your locations and your browsing behavior or history, and you do not know who they share it with or how they handle the information. If it is possible to stop this, I want to say something should be done to limit the amount of information they collect, how they collect and how they use it. Let me know your thoughts.
