I would appreciate comments on my paper from anyone willing to give them.
Line: 36 to 36
 The conflict between users and providers of information exists because data aggregation or advertising is a hindrance to the user rather than an asset. However, data aggregation or advertising need not be a hindrance. Users are often willing to incur costs so that their data can be aggregated or so that they can be exposed to advertising. If data aggregation and advertising can be seen as features rather than as defects, then they become one of the bundled goods or one of the more effective forms of delivery. Data aggregation and advertising can be seen to serve the user's ends.

<		As I write this paper, Pandora Radio has introduced me to Coldplay's Viva La Vida. It fits my musical tastes perfectly and I think that it is a great song. One day, Google may tell me what to read. Amazon will tell me what to buy. Facebook will tell me who I should be friends with. They may play at my fears. They may toy with my subconscious desires. They will do it in subtle ways so that I do not quit using their products. I will comply with my own slavery.

>		As I was writing this paper, Pandora Radio introduced me to Coldplay's Viva La Vida. It fit my musical tastes perfectly. It then tried to play Britney Spears's Blackout. No thanks. Do I seem like a Britney Spears fan? I guess a computer program wouldn't know better. One day, Google may tell me what to read, Amazon will tell me what to buy and Facebook will tell me whom to be friends with. They will offer me better recommendations if I let them aggregate my data. They will play at my fears. They will toy with my subconscious. They will do it in subtle ways so that I do not quit using their products. Lady Gaga's Beautiful, Dirty, Rich is on. I love that song.
