Asignación #5

Discusión sobre los planteamientos expresados en estos dos artículos del New York Times:

fb-personality

I think that yes, a computer program that analyses your Facebook ‘likes’ may be a better judge of your personality than your closest friends and family. Also that in the future, computers could be able to infer our psychological traits and react accordingly, leading to the emergence of emotionally-intelligent and socially skilled machines. But, yeah, clicking “like” on Facebook on pages for Wikipedia, hugs and R&B doesn’t seem like you’re giving away profound information that provides a window into your soul. While such a discovery may startle some, Kosinski said he isn’t a proponent of shutting down access to data, but rather providing users with the ability to control their privacy. “Companies should give users the choice if they don’t want to give you the [digital] footprint,” he said. Plus, he adds, phone and credit card companies already know so much more about you than Facebook does.

So, i think that go ahead and like away on Facebook — just know that you may be revealing something profound in the process.
