LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – A new study by Google aims to improve the online user experience by collecting your data.

They’re offering families twenty dollars to sign up their cell phones for study, and users will earn points that can be converted to cash the longer they allow the tracking to continue.

Families can allow their children as young as thirteen to have their phones tracked and earn up to $540 a year.

Experts warn that those considering taking part should consider the consequences.

“This is a really powerful device,” said Prof. Barney McCoy, while holding up his cell phone. “It’s really opened up the world to all of us here, but at the same time that world has consequences.”

McCoy is a journalism professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Journalism.
