Favorite App

             My favorite app is The Impossible Game. You play as an orange cube jumping over obstacles such as spikes and dangerous pits. You're goal is to make it to the end of the level within one life. If you hit an obstacle you die and have to start all over. Its a very hard game but it has a simple concept so its easy to get the hang of. It also has techno music in the background so its not just a cube jumping over things. You can't play with friends online but you can compete if you both have the game like trying to see who can get the farthest. Its a really fun addictive game so i suggest you check it out.

1/12/15 Collusion

     All of the tracking was a concern for the speaker because even his daughter is being followed and they have no privacy what so ever. I think the trackers are creating a version of us based off of where we go, what we do and things like that. Just like the guy said they're making profile of us but not what we say but what we do and where we go. Tracking could be a good thing because it could help you know a person for who they really are, not who they say they are. Also if you're hiring someone you could learn if they are really someone you want to work for you. It would be a bad thing because if you don't want someone to know about you they could just track what you do and see what you do. Also if you go and do things that are very personal, like a bank account, they could use that and learn things about you. I was surprised by how many dots were appearing because just by going to one website you already have like 10 people following you. I think a lot of dots would appear for me because I go to at least 10 websites a day even if they are just like email and things I still go on them and people track everything. Also even though some of them are just video games they still would be tracked and that means dots.
