Seniors React to Data Tracking

  • 0:01 - 0:03
    Most of us grew up with the Internet
  • 0:03 - 0:06
    so we are used to things like
  • 0:06 - 0:11
    having our data shared without
    our knowledge.
  • 0:11 - 0:14
    We talked to some people who
    got online later in life
  • 0:19 - 0:22
    I'm used to typing with one finger because
    I've got a cat on my lap
  • 0:22 - 0:24
    How do you use the Internet?
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    My bank, the weather, and emails
  • 0:26 - 0:29
    Check my drone sites on Facebook
  • 0:29 - 0:31
    New York Times ... The Atlantic
  • 0:31 - 0:35
    So I'm definitely a social media kind of person
  • 0:35 - 0:37
    The hip stuff that's happening
  • 0:37 - 0:42
    Photographs or news about...
    mostly my choral group that I'm in
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    Because they do a lot of partying
  • 0:44 - 0:48
    How do you protect yourself online?
  • 0:48 - 0:50
    That's Jim's job
  • 0:50 - 0:52
    - Hahaha yeah, The Protector
    - He's supposed to protect me
  • 0:52 - 0:54
    - Yeah, I'm a protector
  • 0:54 - 0:57
    Clear my cookies, a lot
    And my history
  • 0:57 - 0:59
    - I have Norton Antivirus
    - Yeah
  • 0:59 - 1:04
    Protecting ourselves as far as
    porn or something like that?
  • 1:04 - 1:06
    Forget it!
    Hahahaha (laughing)
  • 1:06 - 1:09
    - We go to the magazine
    - Hahahaha (laughing)
  • 1:09 - 1:13
    Firefox thinks you should be able
    to know who is accessing your data.
  • 1:14 - 1:17
    So when you go online, not only
    do the sites see what you were doing,
  • 1:17 - 1:20
    But the sites connected to those sites
    can see it too!
  • 1:20 - 1:24
    So on this browser,
    21 sites have been visited
  • 1:24 - 1:26
    But 255 third party sites
  • 1:26 - 1:28
    have also connected with your activity
  • 1:28 - 1:29
    Wow!
  • 1:33 - 1:35
    I'd like to have that information
  • 1:35 - 1:37
    There's no doubt that, um...
  • 1:38 - 1:41
    we have little insider awareness now
  • 1:41 - 1:45
    It's uh... It's very disconcerting
  • 1:45 - 1:48
    I think if there was a browser that
  • 1:48 - 1:52
    I could go into and do that kind of thing
  • 1:52 - 1:54
    that, know that it's not going to be tracked.
  • 1:54 - 1:58
    Firefox believes in transparency
  • 1:58 - 2:01
    and empowering you to take control.
  • 2:01 - 2:04
    - It's very easy now.
    - Is this available now on Firefox?
  • 2:04 - 2:08
    - Say, there must be a little orange
    animal involved in this
  • 2:08 - 2:13
    Keep your info personal
    Download now at firefox.com
  • 2:13 - 2:16
    There is a whole other area I'd like to touch on,
    if you're gonna ask
  • 2:16 - 2:17
    and that is um...
  • 2:17 - 2:20
    online dating! (smile)
