Benjamin Franklin said, “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” This will be a short post because your time will be better spent reading the attached article and giving it some serious thought.
Google's CEO, Eric Schmidt, was interviewed recently. Mr. Schmidt said he believed that every young person will one day be allowed to change their name to distance themselves from embarrassing photographs and material stored on their friends' social media sites. He also predicted that in the future, Google will know so much about its users that the search engine will be able to help them plan their lives.
Did you read that? Mr. Schmidt said Google will know so much about its users that the search engine will be able to help them plan their lives. Are you okay with this? Do you understand what he is saying? Google has, and will continue to amass information on us. And they intend to use that information to tell us what we want to do next, buy next and eat next.
Take a look at this article, and then leave a comment for me. I want to know what you think.
