8-their isn't a clear way to reduce errors in a system but scientist are working to find a way to solve this problem and increase the reliability if their products to their consumers.
9- Record matching works when companies gather little bits of information and compile them to make an assumption about you.
10- This topic has been debated by many scholars some say it is not present in the constitution, and others say that some amendment just further imply this meaning. But here in the US we do have the right to privacy in some ways, but even that has changed because of the Patriot act.
