Sponsored posts and advertising are becoming frightening on social media. Today I was researching the Fitbit Flex Wristband, reading reviews and checking numerous online stores to compare prices.

Later when I went on Facebook and my favourite AFL Blog, I noticed that there were advertisements for the Fitbit Flex staring at me! Was this a coincidence? Absolutely not. It is frightening how the Internet can retain this information and slowly gather a portfolio of information about our lives.
