Paranoia Blossoms
October 14, 2009
The article “5 Ways You’re Secretly Being Monitored” is interesting and may represent a growing interest among Internet users. The idea is that when you run a query or ride a bus, you may be monitored. The data feed into repositories where the everyday activities get crunched, transformed, and analyzed. The article is a trifle heavy handed, which disturbs the addled goose. Worth reading, particularly if you live outside the US and plan a trip to popular destinations like the big cities, will use the Internet, and ride mass transit.
