Week 10 Reflection

I am still bothered by use of data mining. I feel that some of my freedom is being taken away. Data mining is important for tracking criminal and terrorist. When you think about how all the reward cards you have from different businesses you are being data mined. The difference is businesses are disguising the data collection with promotions and coupons. Basically must people do not realize that this is purpose of reward cards. I was unaware of what these cards are use for. I think I am going to cancel some of my rewards cards. I wonder if credit card companies use data mining to offer promotions. I guess with information age you loose some of your information privacy.
