online transactions of all types can make life easier, help get things done more quickly, etc but what are the hidden costs of these transactions: businesses collect all kinds of personal info about buying habits, interests, etc and what do they do with it and does it matter; also, posting info about self online and thinking its privatebut its not; what sorts of problems have occurred for people because of these things; and what efforts are being made to address these issues and what are the ramifications
