MyLot's advertisers know where I am. Of course I am in Wisconsin traveling on business. But it knows where I am. It gave me a Milwaukee Brewers ad.
Do you ever find it spooky that when you are online it knows what you are doing, what you are searching, where you are hanging out, and where you are?
I really don't. I know it is just the way it works.
Yet, still...

Yes, but I got used to it... it collects data about everything we're doing

It's always been like this. Everything we do is recorded.

It's part of the deal, I think, when we expose ourselves to online activity. At the end of the day I really don't see a way around it. Even when you go to a grocery store they are essentially tracking your habits—directly or indirectly.

I think its a little creepy, my daughter got a new phone last wk and after she had it for a few days it asked sent her a message asking " I see you typically go to bed around 2 am, would you like me to make you a to do list before you go to bed". Now I'm sorry but that is creepy that her phone knows what time she goes to bed and to make her a list.
