As a millenial college student on social media, for me personally, I\u2019d say my data that\u2019s of most value would be how I use Facebook and how I interact with the interface and how I interact with other users \u2014even how I interact with the media and content produced by other users. The data I generate on Facebook would be like the photos I post and my status updates\u2014 but I\u2019d say what\u2019s more important and more frequent would be the posts I I like and click on. I\u2019m usually more likely to comment or click links that come from posts of specific people, so analyzing that pattern could be of use to different companies. If I could harness this data I generate, I could learn from my patterns and become more consciously aware of my online presence and what websites I\u2019m more likely to click on or what media I\u2019m most attracted to.<\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s a bit of a grey area in terms of my opinion concerning whether or not companies are justified in how they take data in exchange for commodities. Because honestly, I agree to sign my data away to Facebook by using their service and I don\u2019t really have a say in what Facebook does once I agree to their Terms of Service Agreement. What they choose to do with that data and whom they choose to sell it to is out of my hands. I DO think most people don\u2019t even think about this exchange of our data for commodities and become upset once it\u2019s brought to their attention \u2014 but if they\u2019re unaware, it\u2019s an oversight on their own part.<\/p>\n<p>The apps that have access to my personal information and my GPS location are probably the apps that get the most out of my electronic activity. My Wells Fargo app is how I access my bank account and check my debit balance (which I definitely wouldn\u2019t want to be hacked). Also apps like the Pacer app or even GoogleMaps that use my location have access to my location 24\/7 and what assessments can be made about me without my knowledge is quite concerning. The value of my data production probably depends on what I do or don\u2019t do online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In terms of what would make a specific type of data the most valuable and marketable, I suppose it depends on what it\u2019s going to be used for.
