Summary

"Big Data Knows What Your Doing Right Now", by the author Martha C. White is about how corporations are finding out everything about consumers. By putting many programs together the goverment can figure eveything out. Also, once you put information out on the internet its there forever, you cant get it back. You also cant always trust the internet because it could be wrong. For example, you could right someone off as being undisirable and that may or may not be true. Outside of the U.S. most countrys grant legal rights for people to acess other people's personal info.

Martha C. White, author of "Big Data Knows What Your Doing Right Now" says, "Information is currency, that we tend to forget" (www.moneyland.com). This is true because someone could turn around right after you give them your information and make a profit off of it. For example, some companies will get your phone number from you in which they could sell to telemarketers.

Martha C. White, author of "Big Data Knows What Your Doing Right Now" once said, "After we give our information away theres no telling what the goverment does with it" (www.moneyland.com). This is kind of like when you put your information out on the internet anyone can acess it and/or  use it. For instince, if you put your adress or full name in facebook people can copy that onto other posts and websites. So while this isnt necessary the goverment it could be a harmful person.
