"The Internet is a surveillance state" by Bruce Schneir
Excerpt:
"So, we're done. Welcome
to a world where Google knows exactly what sort of porn you all like,
and more about your interests than your spouse does. Welcome to a world
where your cell phone company knows exactly where you are all the time.
Welcome to the end of private conversations, because increasingly your conversations are conducted by e-mail, text, or social networking sites.
And welcome to a world
where all of this, and everything else that you do or is done on a
computer, is saved, correlated, studied, passed around from company to
company without your knowledge or consent; and where the government
accesses it at will without a warrant.
Welcome to an Internet without privacy, and we've ended up here with hardly a fight."

Revolting. Disgusting. Sickening.
Yep the internet and big business, along with the medical community are the biggest rackets around.
Its a whole new world out there now!!
One has to know that what one types/posts on a public domain is public....
i agree with Jackie - when did you think what you were writing was private? if you wish for something to be private or stay private? don't say it online. keep it to yourself. always & forever. it plain stinks but it is so true. in a perfect world it would be another way??!

it is sad....and scarey...
all true, and we can't have it both ways we like our blogging and some like FB and twitter. i agree, if we don't want it public then we don't put it on the web....the interent is a monster that in uncontrollable
Yep this is the unintended consequence of technological advancements...less and less true privacy.
This is why I have only a very simple cell phone that gets turned on only when I travel. No Smart Phone. No apps. Nothing that will track every least last thing I do.
And yes, we surf at our own risk - but surely we all knew that? I figure that if we have nothing to hide we've nothing to fear. I don't like the information-sharing, but I participate with my eyes open. And some things I just keep to myself. :)
About sums it up. Auntie you ought to read a book called the Traveler by John TwelveHawks. It's about living off the grid. The facts about the author himself is quite interesting.
Try again. I closed comment box before clicking publish.
Your post sums it.
For fun you ought to read a book called The Traveler by John TwelveHawks. It's about living off the grid and time traveler(s). It's a scifi sorta but then again not really. It's part of a triology. Even the author is a bit of a mystery. No one has ever seen him. He lives off the grid.
Have a great day!
