Are we safe with smart devices:

My 5-year-old kid says, “Daddy if you need more information on this to google it” surprised with what they speak about – but I realized that all of these came from what we do in front of them each day. The more parents speak about work or general topics in front of them, they get to observe and reuse our wordings. At the young age, they get to learn much quicker than was a full-grown adult might take up to four times more of time & effort.

In this digital era, we have to also see if the data that we are giving back through the smart devices are not compromising our security. Photos and location details of the social network site can help digital age thieves to break into the house or the text in a mobile phone texting tool is reflected in my search engine or video streaming application. Advertisements are content filtered to take me to the most recent or highest search.

Smart meters, voice-controlled devices, tablet devices, connected devices, a smart search of navigation maps feeding hotel reservation price feeds, airline ticket booking search soaring the ticket prices are some simple examples of marketing strategy where prices are reduced in one place to recover them in the next place. Each subscriber is just becoming another big data lake, leaving the companies to tag them as a small, medium or large customer for retail (what they tend to buy), marketing (what is their taste), pharmacy (predict what will be their disease depending on the order style), banking (spend pattern analysis), insurance (number of devices and number of people), utilities (what is the peak and least usage hours) and the list goes on.
