I actually read one and ended up discontinuing my use of the service.

When I went to apply for social security, a litany of questions was asked of me. One thing I noticed was the interviewer wasn't typing any thing into the computer. I can only assume that the information was already in the computer and she was just checking to see if it was accurate. Another loss of privacy is security cameras. All that's needed is to walk through a major big box store and we will be on camera in almost every isle. Orwell's 1984 and big brother is upon us for sure. <br /><br />I once worked for a office building cleaning company for a second job. One of my duties was to empty trash cans. After a couple years, I got to know the people that worked there and would have a conversation with them when they worked after hours. One thing they were amazed about was that I would bring up things in conversation that we had not talked about. A person's trash will tell a lot about a person. What their interests are from discarded magazines, what medication their on from empty pill bottles, what they had for lunch, even how long they were at the office by the amount of trash. Such a simple thing as trash can tell a lot about a person so you imagine what can be mined off social media. It's virtually impossible to lead a secret normal life. I don't lay awake at night and worry about it but I do use caution with certain things.<br /><br />Have a great big brother is watching day.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571521947867768070noreply@blogger.com
