@TheLouriFoster Wow, perfect meme to support your argument further!

[Natalie Joy Oliver @NJ_Oliver]

@TheLouriFoster I never thought about it in that way! Your perspective evokes a new discussion that needs to be acknowledged in everyday convo

As humans, it's easy to glaze over the 🚩🚩 concerning security risks when we are presented with the ability to complete things at lightning speed⚡️In the digital world we live in, it's time to reexamine the definition of privacy as it ceases to exist. Does privacy exist? #RATC19

[Natalie Joy Oliver @NJ_Oliver]

🔄Technology will always seem to exist but never have we seen before technology’s capacity to not just assist us regularly but be relied upon and included in the way we gather and process knowledge. #RATC19

[Natalie Joy Oliver @NJ_Oliver]

Like a black hole, the data being absorbed by the devices is going to some kind of third party but it is uncertain of exactly where. Because the exchange is invisible, it becomes difficult to educate consumers about the risks. #RATC19

[Natalie Joy Oliver @NJ_Oliver]

smart tech's high intelligence has the ability to pick up on patterns of individuals/families quite easily. Google &Amazon have the ability to record as much info as possible; allowing them to easily market product based on individuals voiced interests w/ permitted access #RATC19

A study at Northeastern shows: 81 Smart devices tested & third parties could receive info about location of the device, when it’s being used, and how people are using it. In addition, Smart Tv’s are capturing data & sending to Netflix, even when users were not subscribed #RATC19

[Natalie Joy Oliver @NJ_Oliver]

While the intelligence provided by these systems can be helpful, the framework allows for a highly potential privacy threat when insights of data extend beyond simple tasks and rather intrudes in the person's private information🧐 #RATC19

Home appliances like Smart Speakers and Smart TVs allow the customer to voice command for certain features like playing a song or a movie without the inconvenience of sluggishly moving from the couch. #RATC19

[Natalie Joy Oliver @NJ_Oliver]

It's crucial to look closer into apps that seem 2 request too much for the benefit that is being returned. It is up to the user to make the decision on whether or not the additional features are needed for the app to function properly & if it's appropriate 2 allow access. #RATC19

[Natalie Joy Oliver @NJ_Oliver]

Are app developers adding features only for their personal benefit of gaining access to customer data?@EmilyDrayfuss states, “Like dust, this lucrative and shady business is so hard to see in action—even as we all participate in it—that the easiest thing is to ignore it.” #RATC19

[Natalie Joy Oliver @NJ_Oliver]

The small but powerful device tucked in the back of your jean pocket knows your exact location😬.In most cases, info is shared & device permissions are enabled by the user. However, it's the apps that request unreasonable & excessive access to information that's worrisome #RATC19

[Natalie Joy Oliver @NJ_Oliver]

If we observe our surroundings, people are interacting with technology 24/7, it has become a norm to see most individuals on a mobile device or plugged into one. #RATC19

[Natalie Joy Oliver @NJ_Oliver]

‼️CRISIS‼️People think they know about keeping their information private when in reality most are unaware & misinformed about how their own decisions and actions could highly pose a privacy risk in the trade-off of security for convenience #RATC19

[Natalie Joy Oliver @NJ_Oliver]

We invest in things that we assume will protect our safety, yet we are quick to turn over our personal information for the convenience of technology. Individuals have cyber arrogance when it comes to fully understanding digital literacy. #RATC19

[Natalie Joy Oliver @NJ_Oliver]

@BillGates This is actually insane! We live in a time where technology can solve problems that we didn't know there were solutions for.

We’re getting closer to having a blood test for Alzheimer’s – which could help doctors detect and diagnose the disease earlier: https://t.co/L6m5WYhova

Time is always moving on, Nothing can stop it. The question is whether we use our time properly or not. We can’t do anything about the past, but what happens in the future depends on what we do now.
