Risks and Benefits: Choices being made on my behalf
This video brings to mind what is really happening these days with privacy. The question is, do we have any? The video is actually pretty creepy. The fact that she knows what they guy buys, the magazines subscribed to, the fact that he bought tickets to hawaii and books he checked out is weird. Even a place as simple as a pizza shop to know all of this is strange. Sure there are benefits to it, like address and phone number and name, which would make delivery much easier. But for a pizza shop to have the personal and private information about you is unnecessary. If getting information about someone is this easy, then things like ordering items online is a huge risk because of credit card numbers and other info as well. All in all, I think it's more dangerous than benefitial.
