There is an exchange of data and information for services. Kurt says that advertisers are the customers, and the data of people is the product. A lot of the services are free because of this though, so it's a tough thing to think about. There is an amount of information Kurt is willing to exchange, but information going to the government is just wrong. Kurt thinks that at some point that ads could no longer be necessary. Google Kurt is more trusting of than Facebook in comparing services that take data.

Kurt got a degree in a fine arts field, and did face some of these comments. If somebody says 'graphic design', that is something people can apply to d a job.

Rally is not something that is visible in America, and in America only the Indy 500 and NASCAR are watched. For his favorite kind of racing, Kurt was very into NASCAR, and Dale Earnhardt. Even recently, Kurt had a conversation about Formula E! He is still getting used to racing in general.
===Question: I'm curious is you have, and/or would like to own a motorcycle?===
