            control over how and by whom your data is used. Given
            that advertisers will pay a premium to get your attention,
            and digital data brokers are constantly on the lookout for
            new sources of data due to its value, it only makes sense
            to do your due diligence to see where you can profit.

            Remember that  your personal  history and  digital
            footprint include  previous addresses,  phone  numbers,
            school records, employment records, certifications, and
            criminal  histories.  E-mails  and  other  text  files,  photos,
            videos, music, and other audio recordings are examples
            of physical electronic items that form part of your digital
            footprint.

            As previously stated, you can make money without doing
            much work if you don’t mind sharing your information.
            However, do your background checks before you share.

            We  examined  what  the  new  economy might  look  like
            given data is the newest commodity, but what about the
            world’s future as it becomes more digital? According to
            various sources, 70% of the global population is online
            or uses the Internet. This means that all of those people
            generate massive amounts of data in the form of digital
            footprints  and  activities,  not  to mention  the  insights
            gathered  and  stored, resulting  in  massive  amounts
            of data that only AI can sort through and make sense
            of. As a result, AI will shape the future, permeating all
            industries  and job sectors. Our interaction and  daily
            experience will be very different from what it is today as
            a result of the implementation of AI algorithms and ML
            techniques, possibly aided by automation and robotics.
            This  could, however, create  new job opportunities  in
            machine learning, data mining and analysis, AI software
