How do I minimize tracking?

Transcripts

Speaker:

Hi, this is Bill Sikkens, host of User

Friendly 2.0.

2

:

Saturday's here on the answer

with this week's Tech Wednesday.

3

:

We've been talking on the show lately

about patents and other technologies

4

:

that are designed to spy on you

and sell your data.

5

:

And this has, of course, brought up a lot

of questions this week on User Friendly.

6

:

We are going to be answering

your questions

7

:

and looking at some common-sense ways

that you can alleviate being tracked,

8

:

not prevent it.

9

:

I don't know if that's entirely possible,

but certainly some things that are non

10

:

paranoid steps that you can do to minimize

some of these activities.

11

:

A lot of our questions

have been coming in so far.

12

:

Focus on different aspects of things

from televisions that monitor

13

:

what you're watching, the cars that listen

to what you're saying to smart speakers,

14

:

and a lot of the other technologies

that are out there.

15

:

I often say technology is benign.

16

:

It's what you do with it that counts.

17

:

And in these cases,

18

:

some of the directions

that these things are starting to

19

:

go is getting a little bit scary.

20

:

But there are things you can do.

21

:

Join us Saturday here on The Answer

as we deep dive into how to minimize

22

:

those that are tracking you.
