Summary | It can be infuriating to try and teach one's parents how to use the computer, the internet, or Facebook because they are so clueless. However, there is no use in getting angry. After all, they managed to stay patient when we learned to ride a bike. Young children today can use modern technology before they can speak. They will be teaching us new technology one day.

Summary | Many companies now take advantage of the huge amounts of data that we create on a daily basis by being online and carrying a smartphone on us at all times. Facebook tracks all our movements online even when we are not signed up. Our smartphone collects data about our whereabouts. Companies can buy this data to target us with specific advertising or to enhance their hiring process to include data from our social media activity. This way they can conduct analysis about how valuable each applicant would be to the company.
