Thread: How Google collects data about you and the Internet

That is some scary shit, where will it end?

Its hard to pinpoint one person out of a crowd. However, if your the only one doing it, then its easy to single you out. If you get what I mean your still anonymous due to the fact that no one wants to know about one guy in a hundred thousand (as an example). Your just a number, therefore everything you do is still private in a sense.

Its more the less going to be "<X>" customers use "<Insert thing>" at "<insert time> on a graph as compared to user Joe blow uses "<item>" at "<time>".

A little over a day :P

I'm amazed at the conspiracy theories over Google and what people envision Google to be doing with any data that's collected. We honestly follow the "don't be evil" motto.

It really isn't a big deal.....people have been collecting information since the beginning of time. These days,you don't walk into a store,or in some places walk down a street without being on camera. Visa has been collecting info on our spending habits long before AlGore invented the internet. It's just a fact of life,now.

That's so in a few years when you enter the shopping mall or grocer you will be greeted automatically by the welcome screen and then be offered products based on your recent purchases.
