If you’re like most people, you’re spending more time on social apps as you look to stay connected, you’re spending more money via eCommerce, and you’re logging in to work from home, leading to new habitual behaviors. If your privacy is a concern for you, this is a good moment to check privacy settings and read up on how to keep your personal data safe.
In the past few years, of every 10 apps being used, around 8 apps are owned by Google and Facebook, including Google Maps, Facebook, Google search, Amazon, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook Messenger, Spotify, Google Drive, etc. COVID has hyper-accelerated our use of online platforms. Whether you are seeing a doctor, searching for a movie suitable for your kids, need to buy groceries, trade stocks, watching a concert with a group of friends, making a business presentation, or checking homework assignments – much of it now happens online. The range of digital consumption data generated is mind boggling.
