    I guess if you're going to rob a bank leave your phone at home. Google can be your alibi.

    I wouldn't be suprised if "The Man" was watching us through the selfie camera and utilizing facial recognition to identify us. He probably collects our fingerprints through the touchscreens and probably tracks our conversations through voice recognition.

    Well enough of this. I need to go out and buy some more tinfoil.... weirdalfoil_2322.jpg

    OK, from one Don to another...
    I've a whole stock of tinfoil hats, just tell me your hat size and shape! If I don't have it in stock, I'll make it for you. However, you have just opened up a whole new market for me! Tinfoil toilet paper! No need to size it, either, as one size fits all!:p

    OK, now that is out of the way. Remember the book 1984? To a very large extent, that is where we are today. I don't like it any better than anyone else. But what are we going to do about it?
    It looks to me like we have two choices. Either put up with all the intrusion into our privacy, or completely cut ourselves off from the electronic world. And even then, with all the cameras that are out there now, we will still be intruded upon.:(

    I remember hearing about that book. But I don't remember exactly who's the author was or what it was about. I think it would make a good read. I'll have to check it out sometime.

    George Orwell.

    He was only off by a couple of decades on what has/is come to pass.

    Keep in mind, this was a work of "fiction", published in 1949. Pretty incredible if you have no familiarity with it. Give it a read.....come to your own conclusions. Will be entertaining, nonetheless.

    I wonder what would happen if signed into google, turned off all track what you do settings, didnt use your phone number for security as google and others strongly suggest, turned off wifi gps and location settings?

    Facebook was able to get within 300 miles give or take a few in doing so.
