  1. maintaining privacy in our world today is
  2. something that is very difficult and almost
  3. impossible because of the nature
  4. of which we use technology,
  5. other forms
  6. of digital life.
  7. Almost everybody has a smartphone
  8. they carry with them at all times.
  9. Some people are even very attached to these phones
  10. and the fact that they
  11. have have separation anxiety from these
  12. devices.
  13. These phones place a barrier between us
  14. and our privacy because they are always listening. They always store data
  15. and this is all through the software on the cell phone.
  16. Software like Siri and Alexa
  17. which are recent
  18. innovations in technology
  19. that helps
  20. research
  21. or buy things
  22. have
  23. are almost always listening.
  24. They are always recording our conversations. They are using our conversations
  25. to tailor our experience in those apps
  26. two
  27. individually. So
  28. say I'm talking about buying
  29. or say I'm talking about buying a new car, how much I like cars or something like that.
  30. All of my ads on my
  31. phone on my
  32. on
  33. every internet I use will be about cars
  34. and yes it's crazy. But that is how our society has grown
  35. and how these apps have
  36. adapted to
  37. the
  38. world today.
  39. The storing and listen
  40. and recording of data
  41. is not by accident.
  42. Large corporations and our own government are actually using
  43. these
  44. recordings, these storage of our data of our conversations.
  45. They're using it
  46. to benefit
  47. and work towards something else.
  48. These large corporations are taking the data they
  49. receive from our usage of maybe their company,
  50. maybe their website and they're taking that data and they're selling it to
  51. other companies that might not be using that data for very good.
  52. In fact.
  53. Some companies might be using up the data that
  54. they buy off these large corporations to harm individuals
  55. to steal things from individuals or even to um
  56. to personally attack individuals.
  57. Our cell phones and the internet are not the only things these large
  58. corporations are taking from us,
  59. the appliances in our homes that are considered smart appliances like
  60. our television
  61. people have um
  62. your eggs or coffee makers that store information.
  63. All this information is being sent and is being mined by different companies.
  64. So every time you go to let's say make coffee or take
  65. a road trip and you type in a destination in your GPS that
  66. is being stored and where you're going to and where you're coming
  67. from and the direction you are taking that is also being stored.
  68. Mark Zuckerberg, owner and founder of facebook,
  69. is it
  70. at the forefront of all of this.
  71. As Zuckerberg has
  72. now created, not attempted to create
  73. something called the metaverse
  74. through social media apps like facebook
  75. and instagram.
  76. This metaverse is designed so that they could build basically their own like
  77. society in which everything goes through their
  78. abs everything is made through their hardware.
  79. He essentially is trying to create a monopoly but also
  80. control society
  81. in a way
  82. these social networks are putting profit before the people
  83. they are taking
  84. large measures so that they can provide advertisements,
  85. They can make money through those companies,
  86. they can take your data and actually sell it to other companies
  87. and that just is not correct. That is very messed up.
  88. However, that is what they are doing in there.
  89. There's nobody to stop them currently.
  90. And on top of this, everyone when they make a post and say facebook,
  91. there's a ton of data points created
  92. your location,
  93. the picture you're posting or the post, You're identifying yourself,
  94. You're giving out information about yourself, your beliefs,
  95. maybe even your political views to the world.
  96. Because when even if your profile is private,
  97. other people can screenshot and send it out.
  98. It's it's nothing too private in this world because
  99. even if you want to control your privacy, it is still going to
  100. sneak out somewhere else.
  101. Something that's a little unique that I read about the metaverse is that
  102. once a company joins the metaverse,
  103. their company will require employees to
  104. give up a significant amount of information
  105. and sacrifice their privacy as well as they will be doing business meetings through
  106. um
  107. a software like zoom
  108. and this will
  109. this software really takes
  110. a lot of information
  111. which is also
  112. an invasion of privacy.
  113. All of this puts to the question is privacy a losing battle.
  114. In my estimation,
  115. it really does seem like we have reached the point in our society where technology
  116. has taken over and we have lost the battle of keeping our individual lives private
  117. through
  118. measures of online
  119. and
  120. technological use
  121. such as our cell phones.
  122. Ah
  123. mm hmm.
  124. Members of Senate have even tried to
  125. um there's been conversations brought up in the Senate and these members of
  126. Senate have now deferred the conversation of rules and regulations on data storage
  127. to the tech companies where
  128. Ceo is like
  129. Ceos like
  130. um
  131. cook and
  132. um blanking
  133. and steve jobs have even said that they are unable to control these things.
  134. And even even Mark Zuckerberg was guilty of
  135. of tim Cook.
  136. And Mark Zuckerberg have even said that they are
  137. unfit to control these things and that they need legislation
  138. from outside
  139. entities
  140. and our government has failed in providing that legislation.
  141. If there were to be legislation, I think the best way to do it would be
  142. to
  143. really individualize everyone,
  144. let them
  145. actually
  146. decide on their settings on their phone rather than
  147. saying, oh I don't want Syria listen unless I activate Siri
  148. and
  149. series still listening. Because that is that has been proven
  150. and
  151. it is
  152. something that even tim Cook has
  153. said. Yeah, it doesn't really deactivate Syria. Just kind of
  154. puts,
  155. it will activate the actual like
  156. ask serious something when you say serious, but it will always be listening
