1/12/15 Collusion

        All of the tracking was a concern for the speaker because he has a 9-year old daughter at home and it was tracking her every movement. As a parent, not as a speaker, that made him upset that it was tracking his daughter without his consent. I think the trackers are trying to look at what websites we go to and send us ad to promote other websites that we might like. For example, if I was looking at $100 shoes that I visit every 5 minutes, the trackers might send me an ad for the same exact shoe but for half the price so I would click on it and more ads would pop-up trying to sell me more stuff. Tracking would be a good think for business and to promote ads and better prices than other websites are promoting. But, it would also be a bad thing because it does this to little kids like the speakers 9-year daughter and they think its cool so they click on the ads and get them into a lot of stuff they don't know. I was very surprised at how many dots were appearing because that was just in a couple hours he showed but I couldn't imagine if he used it 24/7 how many dots there would be. I think a lot of dots would appear because I go to a lot of websites for homework help and for other uses like just for fun. It would look like a couple of blue, twice of amount of grey, and a hundred dots of red. I loved like video and have learn about from it.
