The future of technology is based off adaption and mutability of technology. However, with these adaptations, technology can become more advanced than ever, and significantly more powerful too. The law of the internet only extends so far – the capability of its users being almost infinite. The dark side of the internet only expands with the emergent of technology. Spamming, viruses and hacking of hardware are all examples of control over internet by outside sources, these unwanted accesses can cause problems with your owned technology as well as giving people access to private information.

As earlier discussed, certain networks have control over its advertising for specific users. Facebook confessed to looking at people’s data in order to provide them customised advertisements. With the adaption of these networks, aside from the positives, we are giving them more control over our data and further access.
