Week 9: Digital enclosure

Every minute 100 hours of video are uploaded to youtube, 800+ million daily active users in facebook, 280+ monthly active users in twitter and users of other social media share a great amount of information about themselves. Devices that are connected to “Internet of Things” share information about it's users. All this data is being gathered and stored into cloulds. It is not a secret, that this information is being analyzed by companies for statistics which can then be distributed to marketing companies, advertising and government.

I personally do not like the fact, that primary purpose of this system is to make profit on customers and that my information is being collected unknowingly, so i choose carefully what information I share.
