Summary of Podcast 5

This is a summary of all the topics found in the NPR broadcast on Technology. Small and easy is what people want in a camera. Most people knowhow to run these types of cameras already; phones provide this type of camera, they are usually 3 megapixels. Cameras that are available in phones have made it easier for people to take pictures at anytime. Usually people don’t always have their camera on them, but they will have their phone. I didn’t realize that the government could get any information they wanted in the blink of an eye. All they need is a connection or warrant and they are off the hook of any penalty. I feel like that is a violation of privacy, but now they have new software that can identify who is looking at the information to hinder its misuse. Also, they spoke about Facebook ads, which I think is revolutionizing the personalization of advertising. A person can vote for which ads they like, don’t like, and don’t want. If this type of personalization could come to other parts of the communication field, like newspaper, I don’t think the communications fields would be suffering as much.
