Some social networks and apps get their hands on contacts
stored on your cell phone even if you do
not wish to hand them over. Many of us put into contacts every person who sent
you email or gave us a business card. Ten years later, you have thousands of
contacts and you have no time to look through your contacts and delete those
that are irrelevant. The grabby social network may invite most of these
contacts, if not all, to join you on the network! By getting some poor bloke
into the network, they probably increase their presumed market value by a few
cents! Don’t be surprised if your dry cleaning shop joins you on a social
network soon!
G. Sampath has written a very good article related to
this topic "The Hindu":
I think a lot of what is called big data is mere garbage.
