Juan Carlos Yáñez-Luna, a scientist, revealed some surprising information about smartphones at an international meeting. Contrary to what some users believed, smartphones can still listen to their surroundings even when turned off, as long as the battery is still functioning. This raises concerns about who might have access to this information and how it could be used.
One of the concerns that many people have about smartphones is how much they influence our daily lives. Smartphone applications make it easy to gather information about users’ tastes and preferences, allowing for targeted advertising. However, there are also concerns about the privacy implications of these apps accessing personal information such as location, social networks, and search history.
At the same international meeting, the ethical and social impact of Information and Communication Technologies was discussed. Juan emphasized the importance of users being aware of what information they are uploading to their phones and how it could be used. Cookies, which are files created by websites to improve the browsing experience, can also pose privacy risks by tracking users’ browsing history.
To enhance privacy online, users can choose to limit the use of cookies and reduce the personalization of their browsing experience. Following certain steps recommended by Google can help users improve their online privacy. Overall, it is essential for users to be informed about the potential privacy risks associated with using smartphones and engaging with online content. By understanding how their personal information is collected and used, individuals can make more informed decisions about their digital interactions and protect their privacy
