Internet

I really enjoyed the speaker last Tuesday. He was very engaging with his humor which made me able to pay attention to his lecture for most of the time. As I don't go to Disney, I wasn't aware of the bracelets that track where you are in the park and when. I don't really mind that kind of technology for Disney; I think it is really helpful for them as well as making the park experience more convenient for the visitors. One thing he talked about was the acquisitions of certain companies based almost solely on the information they gather, but I was already aware that such a thing existed.

As far as the amount of personal information on the internet, it can be troubling, but for the most part I am not too worried. I think that the real issue is when people are too open about their information, for example putting up their address, in an online place that is open to see by anyone. I am conscious about what kind of information I put up on the internet and am therefore comfortable with where my personal info is, but I cannot speak for others. Other than that, I don't dislike how companies use basic user information to target a certain audience or market. I think that when companies do something like that, they only have the best interest in mind and are trying to make shopping more convenient and cheaper for people.
