This is a fascinating article from last week's New York Times magazine. It has application for a number of different types of psych courses. I plan to use it for my students who are working on a behavior change project, but I can think of other places it would work as well. It's about how companies (the example in the piece is Target) collect and use all kinds of information on its customers and then use that to target(I suppose the pun is intentional) them with ads and offers. I found it really interesting and thought maybe others would too.
