As I have stated here before many times, zombies are gadget-fans. We love our gadgets, including the ever popular iPhone and iPad. The way we see the world is: either you have an iPhone and iPad or you are a looser. Don't even let me get started with those Android things...
Now we learn that the good people from Apple installed in all their products an active piece of technology that gathers information from their products when they are used and sends it to them. They get to know where you are, at what time, who did you call or the applications and data used via internet.
Also they get to pin-point your activities when you post photos, tag photos or use popular sites like twitter or flicker. The gadgets send to them the exact location using geo-tags. You don't need a rocket scientist to cross-over information and know everything there is to know about you and your most private thoughts. Cross-referencing data is a kids game. Nowadays we use our phones and computers to expose our lives to the world... feeling safe behind the screen of our gadgets.
There is an app called I Can Stalk U which searches twitter for posts that reveal location and creates a map pinpointing places where those pictures where taken. A home computer can scan more than 35,000 tweets and more than 20,000 pictures at any given moment.
I, for one, think that Apple did this for a good reason, to keep me safe. I highly doubt that they will profit from it or share that information. I strongly don't believe that the government can get access to my data. They both are looking after me to keep me safe and sound. I feel so protected. Thank God for Apple and the Government.
después de su relato ya no me quedan dudas: Apple fue entrenado por mi madre. Creo que fue pionera en los métodos de seguimiento y control a distancia. Era como un pensamiento que seguía todos mis movimientos, al tiempo que los iba corrigiendo. Por mi bien, claro
ReplyDeleteQue puedo yo decir. Mi madre fue una buena mujer, pero tremendamente manipuladora. Hay días que todavía siento las cuerdas de títere...
ReplyDeletelas madres, nos dejan cosas importantes, como las almohadas, y una infinita sensación de culpa. Qué puedo decir...mi madre también tuvo buenas intenciones...
ReplyDeletePor favor... no mencionar a mi muy querida y extrañada almohada. Una gran pérdida para mi y para la humanidad. Trataré de meter la culpa a la lavadora, a lo mejor se muere como mi amada compañera.
