Your smart phone will control you … Oh .. it already does.

Well its not exactly your phone but the apps you connect to. A digital ecosystem is drawing us forever in. Almost everything has to be verified through the phone as we go head long into the totally digital payment system. It’s under the guise of security for you. Maybe it’s partly valid but “they” are still harvesting data from people Globally. Not so long ago you could draw out cash & spend it without anyone knowing what you bought. Yes using a smart phone or card to pay is very convenient but your info is collected and shared with “we don’t know how many”. Im researching into how we can avoid or evade from the Google & Apple of this World. It’s not easy as our society has just been happily going down this road of financial convenience for some time. All I want is a bit more control over my “smart phone” which means use of financial transactions & who I communicate with & more.
