Last Sunday and then Wednesday, we learned how we are being targeted on the internet , how our every action online is being tracked and how our data is being collected through different methods. The internet's tech giants and advertising networks do so much for us for one reason - they want to make money off of making us products. Now let's know how various companies earn from it after preparing a detailed profile about us , especially after knowing our likes and dislikes. The importance of India's new Digital Personal Data Protection Act lies in this. The lifeblood of the Internet lies in data. This data is not just data generated on various sites , but data about individual users. The internet economy is driven by advertising using this data. The difference between advertising in newspapers , radio , TV or outdoor billboards and advertising on the Internet is the

Five decades after man's arrival, 'moon trip' difficult, 60 out of 146 missions fail

Image
India tried to land on the moon in 2019 which failed. In 2023, India's space agency ISRO successfully landed on the moon. India is the first country to successfully land on the South Pole of the Moon unscathed. This success of India is also big because so far a total of 146 lunar missions have been launched out of which 60 have failed. Only four countries made a soft landing on the lunar surface According to Dr. Gail Isles of RMIT University, Australia, the Moon is the only celestial body other than Earth where humans have set foot. It also makes sense to go there first as it is our closest object at about four kilometers away. Interestingly, only four countries have made a soft landing on the surface of the moon so far. On the other hand, its South Pole is still mysterious, where only India has been able to reach. So many countries have failed Even Russia, the first country to make a soft landing on the moon 60 years ago, recently failed to land Luna-25 on the moon's sout

A green dot appears on the phone screen?

Image
Have you ever seen a green dot on your laptop screen next to the camera or in the upper right corner of your smartphone screen ? This is a privacy related feature. Talking about smartphones, this feature has been added since the 12th version of Android. This green dot appears on the screen whenever our device's camera or microphone or both are in use. If you turn on the camera itself, you will see the camera icon on the green background for a second or two in the right corner and then it will turn into a tiny green dot. The same happens when using a microphone. If there is any malware in our phone, it can turn on the camera or microphone or both in the background. So something else may be running on the phone screen or it may appear to be off but the phone's camera or microphone may be capturing what it sees/hears! Green Dot lets us know if something like this is going on.

For that article our focus was on how our every online action on the internet is tracked , what tools are used and whether different companies can identify us personally. Today let's expand our focus a bit and talk about what kind of data different companies collect about us while tracking us. Most of the companies on the Internet let us use their services absolutely free , in return they use our data to create a detailed profile about us. Based on this, the advertising network company can predict very accurately which product or service ad we are most likely to click on. Advertising network companies sell such ' accurate predictions ' and earn from them. It is w
