Yile nto iyenzayo ifowuni yakho ngeDatha yakho yezeMpilo

Ii -apps ze-smartphone ziyinto entle eyilwe: Ukusuka ekulandeleni umthambo wakho ukuya kukunceda ucamngce, zinokwenza ubomi bube lula kwaye bube nempilo. Kodwa bakwaqokelela ubuncwane bolwazi lomntu. Kwaye ngaphandle kokuphononongwa okunyukayo kweendlela zabucala, uninzi lwee-apps zenza nantoni na eziyithandayo ngolu lwazi.

"Kukho indawo enkulu ebonakalayo phaya, [evela kuwe ngokunikezela ngokunikezela yonke idatha yakho ukuba isetyenziselwe okanye ithengiselwe abanye, [ukuba] nokhuselo olomeleleyo kubucala babasebenzisi," utsho uNicholas Evans, Ph.D., a. bioethicist kwiYunivesithi yaseMassachusetts Lowell.

Umgangatho wobumfihlo onokuyilindela kuxhomekeke kuluphi uhlobo lwefowuni onayo, apho uhlala khona kwaye, ewe, ulumke kangakanani. Umzekelo: U-Evans uthi i-Apple ifuna ii -apps zezempilo ze-iPhone ukuba zijongwe kwakhona kwimicimbi yabucala ngaphambi kokuya kwivenkile ye-app-ke kukho uluhlu lokhuselo olwakhelwe abasebenzisi. Kodwa kuphela zezempilo zokusebenza ezisebenza kunye ne-Apple eyakhelwe-ngaphakathi kwezempilo, utshilo uEvans. Izixhobo zokurhweba ezizimeleyo kunye neenkqubo-cinga iFitbit, okanye i-Nike eqhuba ii-apps-azilawulwa ngokunjalo, okuthetha ukuba banokusebenzisa ulwazi lwakho ngeendlela ongazange uzicinge.

Abasebenzisi be-Android, kwelinye icala, basengozini ngakumbi. Abaphandi baseJamani kutshanje bagqibe uphononongo oluneenkcukacha lwee-60 ezahlukeneyo zokusebenza kwezempilo ze-Android kwaye bafumanisa ukuba akukho nanye kubo-leyo yeyona ndlela ilungileyo yokulandela amanqatha okuxela abasebenzisi malunga nemfihlo. Oko kuthetha ukuba awuyazi into oyivumayo xa uchwetheza iinkcukacha zakho kwaye uvumelana nezaziso ezivelelayo (Ngaba ubusazi ukuba uninzi lweeapps zokufaneleka azinawo umgaqo-nkqubo wabucala kwaphela? )

Kutheni le nto iinkampani zinokuyithengisa ulwazi lwakho, ngaphandle kokuziphatha ngasese? Ukuyibeka ngokuthe ngqo, kukwenza imali. Cinga ngako: Uninzi lweapps ozisebenzisayo zisimahla, kwaye kufuneka benze imali ngandlela thile. Ukuthengisa idatha kwezinye iinkampani-ezifana nabathengisi abafuna ukukujolisa ngeentengiso, kunye neenkampani zeinshurensi ezisebenzisa ulwazi ukuseta iipremiyamu-yindlela yokuzisa inzuzo, utshilo uEvans. Ewe, kusenokwenzeka ukuba iapp iyathembisa ukuba igama lakho liya kususwa nakweyiphi na idatha abaziqokelelayo nabazithengisayo. Kodwa ngokudibanisa idatha yezempilo engaziwa nolunye ulwazi oludadayo kwi-Intanethi, akukho nzima kangako kumthengi wedatha ukuqhagamshela amachaphaza kwaye akuchonge. Ewe, ayingobantu bangaphambili kuphela abakusukelayo kwi-Intanethi.

Ke, ungazi njani ukuba iapp iyayihlonipha imfihlo yakho? Okokuqala, iKhomishini yezoRhwebo ngo-2016 ikhuphe izikhokelo ezithi zonke ii-app zibe kucingelwa ukuthobela, kodwa ukuba uyathandabuza, funda umgaqo-nkqubo wabucala we-app-kufuneka ufunelwe ukuba uyivume phambi kokusebenzisa i-app. (Nokuba yeyiphi na, unokuhlala ufikelela kumgaqo-nkqubo wabucala wosetyenziso kuncedo losetyenziso okanye kumacandelo oseto.) Kuya kufuneka ihlale ichaza ngokucacileyo, ngolwimi olucacileyo ukuba yeyiphi idatha eqokelelweyo kwaye ngubani oza kuyibona wakuba uvumile. Ukuba kubonakala kumdaka okanye ukuba ukuvunywa bekungafuneki konke konke, uEvans ucebisa ukuba ayicime kwifowuni yakho. (Eziapps zomzimba zinokungakuncedisi ukunciphisa umzimba, kunjalo.)

Gcina ukhumbula ukuba iiapps ayizizo kuphela izinto eziqokelela idatha yobuqu, nokuba yeyiphi. Ifowuni yakho nayo iyenza, kwaye unokuhlengahlengisa useto lwangasese ukuze ulawule usetyenziso ukuba lungene kwidatha ebuthathaka njengendawo okuyo, abafowunelwa, iifoto kunye nekhalenda, utshilo uEvans.

Akukho mathandabuzo ukuba usetyenziso lwezempilo lunokuba luncedo ekukuncedeni ukuba uhlale usendleleni ngendlela yokuphila esempilweni. Kodwa okwangoku, kukuwe ukuba uthathe isigqibo sokuba ngaba kufanelekile na ukuba semngciphekweni wokuthengisa ngasese. (Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, ngekhe uhambe ujikeleza uxelele wonke umntu nge-BMI yakho, ukubala kwamanyathelo, ukubetha kwentliziyo, okanye ulwazi olugciniweyo lwekhadi lakho letyala, ngoku ungaba njalo?) amazwe aphumeza imithetho emitsha enika abasebenzisi ngabanye ubunini kunye nelungelo lokulawula idatha yabo yezempilo. Ngelixa loo mithetho ingekho ngoku e-US, uthi yinto nje yexesha ngaphambi kokuba itsibe ukuya kweli cala leAtlantiki.
