Hi, this is Bill Sikkens, host of User

Friendly 2.0.

00:00:02,541 --> 00:00:05,666

Saturday's here on the answer

with this week's Tech Wednesday.

3

00:00:05,833 --> 00:00:09,625

We've been talking on the show lately

about patents and other technologies

4

00:00:09,625 --> 00:00:12,708

that are designed to spy on you

and sell your data.

5

00:00:12,750 --> 00:00:16,166

And this has, of course, brought up a lot

of questions this week on User Friendly.

6

00:00:16,166 --> 00:00:17,708

We are going to be answering

your questions

7

00:00:17,708 --> 00:00:22,833

and looking at some common-sense ways

that you can alleviate being tracked,

8

00:00:23,208 --> 00:00:23,958

not prevent it.

9

00:00:23,958 --> 00:00:27,083

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

but certainly some things that are non

10

00:00:27,083 --> 00:00:32,125

paranoid steps that you can do to minimize

some of these activities.

11

00:00:32,541 --> 00:00:34,375

A lot of our questions

have been coming in so far.

12

00:00:34,375 --> 00:00:38,208

Focus on different aspects of things

from televisions that monitor

13

00:00:38,208 --> 00:00:41,625

what you're watching, the cars that listen

to what you're saying to smart speakers,

14

00:00:41,625 --> 00:00:44,208

and a lot of the other technologies

that are out there.

15

00:00:44,208 --> 00:00:46,166

I often say technology is benign.

16

00:00:46,166 --> 00:00:47,625

It's what you do with it that counts.

17

00:00:47,625 --> 00:00:48,958

And in these cases,

18

00:00:48,958 --> 00:00:50,791

some of the directions

that these things are starting to

19

00:00:50,791 --> 00:00:52,625

go is getting a little bit scary.

20

00:00:52,625 --> 00:00:54,083

But there are things you can do.

21

00:00:54,083 --> 00:00:58,375

Join us Saturday here on The Answer

as we deep dive into how to minimize

22

00:00:58,625 --> 00:00:59,791

those that are tracking you.
