You're Leaving a Digital Trail

♧  Being able to be tracked wherever I went, having no privacy would concern me. I don't have anything to hide, but I don't find this smart phone trend to be a social network. It's like stalking. It's almost scary to think that this is becoming popular. I guess I never associated the IPHONE as a tracking device. I thought of it as a useful tool to have different applications to look things up with the touch of a screen, but I could be wrong. 

♧ Brown states, "The way I see it, we all have Facebook pages, we all have an e-mail and Web sites and blogs." I agree that a majority of us have and use these different medias frequently; however, that is information we as users choose to put onto the web for people to see.  

♧ I think the Personal Environmental Impact Report is a great way to educate people on safe environments to run or hike. It gives people an option, which is a good thing. 

♧ I am in the same boat as Dr. Estrin. I think this new technology could be a useful tool, but the idea of sensor and containing personal information is where I am unsure about this technology, or unclear. I think I am just unclear about the whole technology itself.  

♧ Dr. Pentland states 3 principles about personal data. People have the right to posses their own data, people can control their own data about themselves, and people can get rid of data as they wish.  I agree,  Isn't that what Facebook and networking is for? I don't consider tracking someone a social network by any means. I have a hard time agreeing with this concept because America is founded on having your own personal rights. Only when you appear to threaten someone or harm someone should the privacy barrier be torn down. 

Sorry if this blog seems confusing, I thought the article was confusing.
