Dada Data, Commodified Spouse, Disney Privacy Response

The Dada Data article is a science fiction styled writing that describes a possible future where our household items are all connected to a network.  The narrator describes her experience of her household utilities thinking she is pregnant due to the data they have collected from her.  Following the same theme of the future possibilities for the Internet of Things, Commodified Spouse and You Don’t Want Your Privacy discuss other ways in which society is being increasingly connected.

The readings discuss issues of privacy that I believe we are at a crucial time in being concerned over.  Having all of our items connected seems too risky, and unnecessary.  Our privacy is something too vital to our rights to be traded so casually for simple conveniences that we don’t really need.  The Internet of Things puts too much power in the hands of corporations who already have more than they should.  In certain instances, I believe their can be a lot of benefits to increasing the ways in which our utilities are connected.  Keeping track of water usage and electricity would have a benefit on the environment, but we can develop these advancements in ways that are less invasive than a device knowing everything about us.  In a way, science fiction (as much as I love it) convinces the general public that invasions of their privacy are just that; fiction.  We forget that these are real possibilities happening every day, just in a different way and at a different pace.

The Disney electronic bracelet ticket is a key example of people being taken advantage of.  It’s not fair to the public to be manipulated into spending more money.  Overall, I believe the internet of things is extremely bad for the mid-lower class.  The conveniences they come with only benefit those who can afford them, and they take out lower paying jobs that help so many people get by.
