According to a survey conducted by YouGov on June 25, over half of the Indian people (52%) think that their smartphones and other smart devices are recording their personal information while they have been completely unaware of it.
For those unknown, YouGov is a UK-based Internet-based market research and data analytics company. In its research, YouGov also pointed out how Indians are feeling about technology, as well showed that many are concerned about some issues such as cyber terrorism and data privacy.
The company revealed,
The most familiar smart devices in their daily life may be keeping track of the owners without their consent. About 85% of Indian people have a smartphone; however, up to 54% think that the modern product spies on them. The similar situation also happens to those who are owning laptops or computers with cameras. While the number of laptop/computer users reaches 62%, up to 33% believes that these devices are spying on them.
However, another fact may attract your attention: in some certain cases, the number of users who believe that their devices are spying on them is much bigger than that of users in general. At the moment, 14% of Indian people are using security cameras, but up to 27% think that they are being monitored by their own devices. In terms of smart voice assistants, the case almost has no difference.
Also in the research, about a third are afraid that they may be isolated from the surrounding society due to the growing development of technology, while about 34% think that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will replace human interactions. 32% say that humans may be more and more dependent on technology.
