    The documentary discusses how Amazon collects vast amounts of data on its customers and the implications of this. It notes that while traditional markets have 20-30 vendors, Amazon has a gigantic selection exceeding what customers need. Experts conducted an experiment where they made purchases and looked at products for a year, and Amazon collected over 15,000 pages of data on that person. Additionally, Amazon's voice assistant Alexa was used for an interview instead of a personal representative. While technology and data collection can help solve crimes faster, it also poses risks by allowing companies to know customers better than they know themselves.

    Performance Task 2
    Video Summary
    Watch this video “Amazon, Jeff Bezos and collecting data | DW Documentary” on
    YouTube After watching this video write a one-page summary and give your own
    opinion in last paragraph.

    “A Summary about Amazon, Jeff Bezos and collecting data | DW Documentary”

    We all know that Amazon, a former online bookseller and owned by Jeff Bezos,
    is collecting more data from us where in fact, they were only a single but powerful
    company. In this documentary, they gathered some experts in order to discuss to us
    more on how Amazon collects data from us and what will be the cause and effects of it.

    On the documentary, they mentioned the differentiation of traditional marketplace


    and the Amazon itself. They also said that in a traditional marketplace consist of 20-30
    market stalls, you can find different varieties of products that you want. While in an
    online platform Amazon, it is gigantic and exceeded the focus of what customer wants
    because they sell a lot of products online. The DW Documentary failed to get an
    interview on Amazon personally, but Amazon answers the questions through writing.
    They use Alexa, a digital voice assistant, to speak for the interview. Amazon said that
    they did not want to focus on the future, instead, they prefer to focus on some things
    that won’t certainly change. They also mean that their customer always wants large
    selection of products with good prices and fast delivery. Also, in the documentary, they
    also assume the outcome if Amazon will be putted into a traditional marketplace. They
    also mentioned that it is like Jeff following customers and knowing our preferences in
    choosing products that we buy. The documentary also talked about the experiment of
    some expert by buying from Amazon in one year, including by just looking up on the
    website, to know what information Amazon was actually storing. It took long time to
    release those data but after a long wait, they collected about 15,000 pages of Amazon
    data set of that particular person in just a year of looking up and buying stuffs on
    Amazon. And by that, some people may find this as a risk because it’s like Amazon
    knows better that us. They also mentioned the accelerating decline of small shops
    because Amazon is taking over the market. It is like a nightmare market because we
    only see one company and they are not challenged anymore. Also, in terms of crimes,
    they also mentioned that Amazon can identify criminals by facial recognition. In that
    way, police officers will take less time in solving crimes in the city, thanks to the facial
    recognition.

    After I watched this documentary, I believe that technology will taking over the
    world that it might be a threat for us because they know better than us. It is like
    controlling our society which is very disturbing at the same time. But, if we sum up the
    disadvantages and benefits of those, I think the benefits weighs more that the other. I
    like the efficiency and hassle-free of an online marketplace, but if only one brand is
    present in a certain country, I think it is too boring. It is always better to not just stick on
    a certain brand, just my own opinion. Overall, I am very happy that I watched this kind of
    documentary. I learned a lot in this documentary.
