It's hard to keep up your privacy. Everything you do is recorded. Many even contribute to those records sharing their life willingly to the public.
I imagined I still had some privacy using something not mainstream. Something that should not reveal that much about me and my doings. But it seems unavoidable, they always have their ways to get the information.
Stepping into the world of Google had me worried. I got a new phone. Prior to that I was using a phone that did not have any google services present. Still one of the first things that that new phone did was telling me when I would be at home if I'd leave now.
That suggestion was scary accurate. It came around the time I usually leave work. It had the correct route and means of travel. And my home address!
As somebody interested in technology that was exciting. As a user that was convinient. And as a privacy conscious person even those last two sentences feel scary now.
I kinda like the possibilities this new technology offers. It's also so much easier, you don't have to worry about things. It almost make you want to give up, to accept the fact that we are no longer the customers, we have become the product.
Should I just give up, am I fighting against imaginary fears?
