As the information shared through communication channels are subject to more and more new kinds of tracking and quantification, data is becoming increasingly more relevant in our society. So much of our lives revolve around technology, so thinking about how much of our personal data is tracked (whether with or without our knowing) is pretty unsettling. For example, most days I wear an Apple watch. I can see the daily trend data for exercise minutes, active calories, stand hours, walk distance, flights climbed, and more. Because I choose to wear the watch, this data collection would be put under the self-assembled information category. Although, I think the Apple watch (and all Apple products in general) collect way more personal data than you may think about. The google maps feature uses satellite GPS technology to provide real-time travel instructions to get you to your destination, which is very useful and convenient. But the GPS is also tracking every location you travel to, how long you stay there, how often you frequent there, the route you take, and more. (Isn\u2019t it strange when your phone suggests, \u201cYou haven\u2019t been to the gym today. If you leave now you can get there in 8 minutes because the traffic is light\u201d?) While technology makes our lives more convenient, the ethics behind data collection are definitely very murky. I think transparency is important (although, do people ever really read terms &amp; conditions or know what it means to \u201callow cookies\u201d?), especially when it comes to consent and data handling. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Data are facts, statistics, or items of information used to calculate, analyze, or plan something.
