Today's post will be about my favorite "App of the Day". My app I have chosen is Instagram. If you don't know what Instagram is, well then you've probably been living under a rock your whole life, just kidding! Anyway though, Instagram is an app that involves gaining followers and taking pictures of yourself or just random things that you or some other people might enjoy. This app is a lot like Twitter but with photos instead of posts but these two apps share the same Followers/Following trait. This app is great because if you want to tell people what you're doing you can just post a picture of what your doing and other people can see it and vise verse and it gives you an image too see what people are doing instead of boring old words. This app is also great because if you have some time to kill you scroll through your feed and see what people are doing. All in all this is a great app and you should download it now on the App Store or on Google Play!

Today I will be answering some questions about Collusion Web Tracking and what it does from a video from Ted Talks, these questions will be located below...

This tracking was concern for the speaker, because they websites can basically read you like a book just because of what you look up on the internet and it can be potentially dangerous.

I think these trackers try to create a virtual profile of yourself without your knowledge and use this information from that profile to make their websites better based from your information and other peoples information.

This tracking can be good if your on a video website or something and they use your virtual profile to suggest things you might want like or want to watch. It might be a bad thing if they are trying to get personal information from you without your knowledge.

I actually was. That guy only navigated to around 7 websites and over 100 different websites popped up just because of that one website

Well I mean it just all depends on how long I was on the internet or how many websites I navigated too. I do in fact use a lot of data so their would probably be a lot of trackers.
