ownership and
use in Canada
is, not
surprisingly,
growing at a
rapid rate

3. But sometimes it
seems as though
our devices use us
as much as we
use them... "Dozensofsmartphone

4. "The [location] data
can be used to show
an ad for a store to a
potential customer
who is nearby, a
technique that
boosts store traffic
40%, according to
Mobile Marketing
Association
research."

5. How does this
work?
"Location services are taken care of with
a magnetometer for detecting magnetic
North and some form of GPS chip or a
related variant to plot your position on
the map."

6. There are many sensors in our phones
that help them to seamlessly and
quickly meet our needs.
"The number of sensors on
your phone should not
concern you, but the
number of apps using that
sensor data should."

position and movements in places like

stores and

8. Shopkick is one of the apps that uses
iBeacon to track customers...
"If you are using
Shopkick at a store with
iBeacon, it also knows
where you are in a store,
where you linger, and
what products you are
interested in."

9. We tell our devices everything...
"People don't seem to feel like themselves unless
they share a thought or feeling, even before it is
clear in their mind. "

Times, 15 Dec. 2013. Web. 02 June 2016. Photo: Pixabay

10. Facebook
is another example of technology knowing in
depth information about our personal lives
"Whenever you sign up for a Facebook account, it asks permission to look
at your email contacts if you’re on a computer, or your phone contacts if
you’re on a smartphone. When you grant the site permission, it searches
your contacts for users already on the network, and it searches other
users’ uploaded contacts for you. That gives it a very primitive outline of
your social circles: who you know, but not how you know them or how
well."

than You Do | Toronto Star." Thestar.com. N.p., 4 Apr. 2015. Web. 02 June

11. The Facebook app listens in on phones
in the US in order to show users ads
that pertain to their lives
"Facebook says its app does listen to what's
happening around it, but only as a way of
seeing what people are listening to or
watching and suggesting that they post
about it. "

Begins Targeting Ads at People Not Signed up to the Social Network." Mail Online.

personal lives it can be incredibly dangerous

13. "When you carry a cell phone, it is
constantly sending signals about
where you are. It "pings" nearby cell-
phone towers about every seven
seconds so it can be ready to make
and receive calls. When it does, the
phone is also telling the company
that owns the towers where you are
at that moment — data the
company then stores away
indefinitely."

14. This means that the government,as well as other
organizations,can potentiallyget ahold of personal
information quite easily

This free app lets family members track one
another in real time. One great feature
automatically lets family members know
when someone has entered a predefined
location, like home or school. You can choose
two such spots. So when the kids come home
after school, Life 360's app automatically
checks them in and sends an alert to show
they've made it.

Along with tracking a child's whereabouts, "the app can work
covertly and show what kids are posting on social media as well as
deleted texts and messages sent via popular apps such as Kik,
WhatsApp and Snapchat."

19. As with most things, there are
positives and negatives to our
devices knowing our information.
As long as people are diligent about keeping their
privacy settings updated, there is little need to worry
about anything bad happening with regards to our
personal information.
