I was never really familiar with the term metadata until we discussed it in class, and personally, I am caught in the middle of whether its an advancement or a violation of individual rights to privacy.

After reviewing the Immersion program that was created by Deepak Jagdish and Daniel Smilkov, I was flabbergasted and  appalled at the same time. I think it is amazing that within a few minutes you can have a complete breakdown of what your life is has been like since you started your email. It reminded me of the accomplishments and set backs I had in life. I could tell due to the fluctuation in emails or lack of in my review. However, giving individuals other then myself the power to access such information without my consent is crazy. Everything I have said or what sent to me is in this little folder that the programmers keep; that’s scary to me.  Even though I do think that it is remarkable how all the data I thought was lost can still be recovered, I do believe it is a violation of individuals rights.
