My thoughts about Internet privacy

Little do people know that their so called privacy is and has been a myth. People have known where you surf and what keywords you surf on and in many cases exactly who you are! I do not like that our Internet habits can be bought and sold but think about those shopper cards you get from stores, did not you know that those stores have looked at your habits and marketed accordingly. How about your viewing preferences, the cable channels know where you go and how long you stay and again market accordingly. We are monitored constantly so get use to the fact that now you might get an e mail or a call from a source you had no idea knew you liked Pepsi or steak or well certain x rated web sites! There are some search engines that can protect your surfing habits and I will soon try to tell you about a few of them. I can assure the big one most of us use is not one of them, they have had our data and used it for a long time.

More to come
