It's been a while, with quarantine and getting caught up on all things related to school.
Thoughts on google?
I actually use google a lot, when I think about it. If I don't know something I turn to google to have the answer. Sometimes it doesn't have everything, but that's where school resources become useful. I honestly don't think about Googles data collection and re-use when I utilize Google. It is kind of scary how much information they are able to collect from our browsing history, but it does make like easier to have hundreds of thousands of answers at your fingertips. I actually have been thinking about Google's data analytics and the reports they have been publishing daily on what is being searched the most during this quarantine period. I took a management information systems class about two years ago where we learned about how Google developed the ability to collect mass data and share it with companies who pay them for it. There is a lot of brain power that has gone into the development of the servers and the data analytics software. I know some aspects of Google's data collection, but not a lot. When I want to learn about topics like online privacy I turn to cybersecurity firms who are reputed.
