Many people are now opting to provide technology companies with their personal data in exchange for access to software. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?
It is very common these days that most
people
to share their private information with technology corporations in return to get access to the software
. I think that there are more benefits to this
tendency than its demerits. This
essay will discuss how software
can make work-related documentation, communication, and shopping easier, and can be misused for identity theft and online payment.
These days most people
pay online for entertainment-related services provided on Web, which are not secured, and they keep saving their personal information, like credit card details, to make transactions quicker. Many tech companies are designed to target such
data that can be used to make short-term profits. They use such
details to pay online. Another major disadvantage is identity theft, which can be done by using full name, DOB, address and phone number. In the last
five years in Canada, many people
become a victim of scammers who used to steal their identity to issue credit cards to others' names.
However
, there are many merits of using software
in exchange for sharing private details which can be kept highly secure by tech companies. The majority of online payment platforms are extremely secure and guaranteed to proceed with the transaction. This
has convinced most people
to buy software
that they need to use for their personal or professional life. For example
, Adobe and MS Office are used by millions of registered professionals who shared all their personal data to get access to such
software
to do work-related communication and documentation. Apart from
this
, the biggest benefit is buying online from an E-commerce giant, like Amazon, to get hassle-free delivery within 2 days. This
and there are thousands of other platforms where user information remained secure.
In conclusion, although
there are chances of being a victim of scammers by sharing personal data with others to use their software
, I believe that this
trend has more benefits including online shopping and work-related important communication and documentation.Submitted by gauravkalathiya123 on
