Blown to Bits (Chapter 2) 


This chapter talked about many things but one main focus was GPS. GPS are devices people can use to track something or use to find a location . This GPS device has its cons and its pros . Many dangerous things can happen with the help of these devices like thieves can identify and follow another person or something valuable. It has also been a huge help in the world because it had made life easier for many of us. For example, finding a location has been easier or maybe tracking someone that hs been kidnapped can be tracked and found . It has both positive outcomes but also negative. This chapter also takes about how just like many bad people can track down other people or stuff. They can also so this by the information we put up in our computer. Nowadays, many people think it's ok to but personal information on your personal website of account, but now hackers can get all of that information and use it for something that might be really dangerous. 

This chapter also talked about privacy and how our devices are getting better but privacy is not so good. We should always think twice before we upload any information that might harm us in the future. Also how the legal system has contributed to the loss of privacy.

It talked about fingerprints and footprints and how just like we can use any print from anywhere , it can be use to find a lot of information about someone to the violate it . It says how we should also be aware of where we put our fingerprints or footprints. 

Towards the end it talked about how technology has brought to social interactions . It has changed the way of like in good and bad . 

I learned about network effect which means that if a technological device is being used, the more useful it becomes.
