Is Data the New Oil? techsocialnetwork

Data is everywhere and its growing constantly. Its used in a multitude of ways and most of the time we don't even realize it. It is no longer being deleted but being stored for future reference and analysis so it can start to predict you! I don't want to scare you but rather inform you so that you are aware when you give your data away. Whether it be on Social Media or Shopping. I would always ask myself, do I trust the company or person I am sharing it with.
