Myspace still in the fight/ advancement on technology concerning privacy etc......

So according to the blog marketing for sensible folks, MySpace is till in the fight for gaining it's popularity amongst social media participants. My suggestions is that MySpace just give it a rest on being the most popularity anfd should target a new market and try to be more useful in reference to networking. They should really just change the mission of the company since its been reported that though they moved up the ranks for social media they are still have an accelerating decline.

Secondly we have cell phones allowing you to use your mobile device as a form of payment. With cell phones being stolen on a day to day basis this can increase identity theft indefinitely. With the idea that now  Google may combine your “financial account information, gift-card balances, store loyalty cards and coupon subscriptions” all on a single chip in your phone definitely raises concerns. If someone takes your phone and know about computers and are career computer hackers they can easily access all this information. With consumer privacy being questioned with the rise of possible facial recognition on social networks; the term "privacy" will no longer exist and you might as well get rid of your computer and your cell phone.

I do not know how I feel about this one

  1. About the phones being stolen, your computer can be stolen just the same and our computers have out entire lives on them. Hackers can just as easily get your information through your wifi connection while sitting outside your house. I think the payment by phone thing is not a bad idea but I don't like the fact that it can be done by simply tapping the phone against another device. I wish we had more control than that. If our phones get lost or stolen I'm sure we will have some sort of way to go online and erase all the information from our phones. iPhone can have it done through iTunes for examples since all of our info is on iTunes. We just need to be careful that's all.
