Two common examples (among many more):
- Google Maps in saving a great deal of time when travelling from one physical location to another.
- Google News, in Google serving me up information I legitimately want to know, only because it tracks so much of the activity I'm doing online. This actually helps my productivity, it relates back to my line of work.
The list goes on. Full and meaningful participation in society in 2020 requires being tracked.
