An amazing song to listen to in this age of increasing data privacy concerns by Rahul Ram, Varun Grover and Sanjay Rajoura!

#MSM A time might come in near future where @JeffBezos and Mark Zuckerberg of @Facebook might know more about us than we do ourselves. It is scary to think about living in a world where we are constantly surveilled and tracked by these private companies. @ACJIndia
The rate at which the world's largest e-commerce site is expanding and doing unprecedented work, makes you wonder will we really have to do anything in the future or will it be delivered to us at our doorstep by Amazon?

After watching @amazon , @jeffbesos2 and collecting Data documentary from @dwnews, It scares me how many people underestimate the power of big data collection.who cares if amazon knows what I click on. I Feel better to buy from local merchants.
#Msm@ACJIndia
Is it fairly possible on the part of Amazon to know about what we want, when we want even before we want something?
But is Amazon shaping the world or rewiring our brains ?
#MSM@ACJIndia@JeffBezos@amazon
Amazon has reinvented retailing. Most of us find shopping on amazon really convenient. But how many of us are actually aware of the fact that we are giving amazon more insight into our lives than we intend to ? Amazon know a-z about you !!!! Be aware 🤓 !!
Amazon can recognise a woman who is going to pregnant in future before she knows it herself.
By just only noticing her online market behaviour, what she buys and how she changes her taste and preferences.
Isn’t it amazing?

Alexa not only understand what we speak but what we feel also. The surveillance capitalism are for other's profit and power leading to asymmetry of vast private knowledge. It's definitely a threat to democracy.

#MSM Andreas Weigend, author of 'Data for the people' and a former employee of Amazon says in a @DeutscheWelle documentary,"It is naive to think my data belongs to me. We can only underestimate what these technologies are capable of." @ACJIndia@amazon@JeffBezos
DW's documentary 'Amazon, Jeff Bezos and collecting data' really makes us wonder if Bezos is the Big Brother who is constantly watching us.
Are we all ready to live in a world where everything including what we eat, drink, wear is decided by algorithms?
@ACJIndia#MSM#Amazon
Is the internet defeating it's true purpose? Is the internet distancing us from the people around us?
Are we becoming increasingly self-obsessed and developing a disregard towards others?
Is Aldous Huxley's prophecy coming true? Is this the 'Brave New World'?
@ACJIndia#MSM
Russian author Yevgeny Zamyatin once said that a person has only 2 options either to be happy without being free or being free without being happy. There is no other alternative.
.
Given a choice, what would you choose out of these 2 alternatives?

Is this what irony looks like?
Millennials posting write-ups about the perils of using social media, on social media!
@ACJIndia#MSM#SocialMedia#addiction
Speaking at @TEDTalks 8 years ago in 2012 @xdamman tried to make the people aware of the power they hold in their hands in the form of mobile phones.
It not only gives them power but mostly importantly it gives them a Voice!
@ACJIndia#MSM#Brussels#TedTalk
It is ironic that a platform like Storify that helped people create stories using social media is non-functional now even as social media users are multiplying. What could have been the reason for its downfall despite the founder's foresight is worth pondering over
