Why we should worry about targeted marketing?


Kimmo Huosionmaa

One of the greatest problems with targeted commercials is, that the users of the Internet are profiled, and the psychological profile makes possible to make commercials, what is interesting by the user. Companies that are making those commercials are explaining the profiling, that the commercials are paid marketing and their customers want effectiveness for their money. Another way to say that is simply ask "would you rather watch commercials, what pleases you, than watch commercials, what are boring?".


The mean of marketing is increasing the sell,  what means that if people go to the toilet or fridge during the commercial, the commercial is made for nothing.  When we are talking about the social media software, what is collecting the information, we must first know, that if some program is free for private, but firms must pay for it is not mean, that the makers of that software are wanted to give that for the gift. When we want to make commercials for people, we want to delete companies from the surveillance lists.


We want those real users to look at the commercials, what is suitable for them. The hamburgers and other things are watched at the home and free time, but when the boss is in the work, that person sees the things, what are meant for working like CAD-solutions and other things. When the solution costs for companies, the marketers can separate the target groups, and target the commercials, that is meant for companies to screens of business parks. Companies are ideal customers. They buy more stuff than private persons and the workers are the good target for marketing because information suffuses in the working groups.


But the psychological profiling has one very dangerous dimension. That uncovers the hidden will to violent behavior. When the person, who sits in the jail and looks the videos, can the system collect the information about this person way to use media. And actually, the Internet is a media. If that collected information of those persons compares with the other Internet users, the system can collect the persons, who are willing to make the crimes.


Also, the military companies, what are hiding mercenaries can make psychological profiles about their workers, and then send the job offers for the potential mercenaries, who would not go to tell their families about this job offer. This would make that kind of profiling dangerous because criminals can also collect the information, what the criminal police looks from the net. And then just deny the jobs from the persons, who probably work for law enforcement. This kind of criminals could be the so-called inner circle share sellers, and other financial criminals, who have excellent firms, and who make very much money with that trading.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
