Re: i knew 'they' were tracking me
very interesting responses here. looks like i may not be the only one concerned. this is good i think.
Privacy is a thing of the past, Zig.
it appears to me that Privacy likely is a thing of the past JB, this to me is sad...
Internet, facebook, My Space, Twitter, Smart phones, etc, etc.
i like my annominity, this is why, so far, i don't belong to any of the quoted places and so far i've resisted the smart phone. my guess is that a smart phone will be the only thing available in the near future though. another sign things could be going awry.
As soon as "they" decide it's chip inplant time, thats when the guns are unburied
well cbk. i'm in trouble, i don't own a weapon. however if 'they' do decide it's chip plant time, i may change my tune and decide maybe i do need a weapon.
Just wait till you find out about the tracking devices they implant during a colonoscopy. I'm just sayin'.
following cbk's statement, that made me choke on my coffee. i'd find it real funny except that i'm 51 years old and i've not been in yet to have one of them inspections. now i'm really worried...
Ziggy - Onstar just called and ask you park on the other side of your driveway!!!
ah ha, it would be nice to know 'they' are not infallible. i only have a single, kinda white rock driveway. there is no other side..
It's all about generating revenue and leveraging information.
this is something to be concerned about imho. info is power and money is the ability to buy power.
Most are so unaware of all the ?data? that is collected from their movement, purchases, logins, websites, and everything else that touches a computer screen. This data is cleansed, formatted and sold, to the highest bidder over and over to anyone who wants to ?target market?. It is without a doubt the hottest thing in Information Technologies right now. I have several IT consultants that do nothing but this ?data crunching?, Credit card companies, mortgage, banking, and every other business vertical around is either buying or selling your personal data. Any you agree to this every time you buy sell or conduct an online anything. Be careful people, this is real.
i beleive this. especially when banks and credit card companies send you the opt out plan about shareing info. your auto opted in, but have to go to effort to be opted out? this is wrong. so far, i buy very little on line, some though. i only have log in's for things that i gotta have, you know, like iboats..
.... well... more like the other things described actually. scary as ya can't hardly avoid this and be able to operate (conduct business) in this age . as for clearing cookies, i do this daily + at least one avg scan. weather this helps or not i don't know. i guess i go on the assumption it won't hurt to try.
Black boxes only record data in the event of an air bag deployment.
interesting. my bag light is on in my '99 van. i was thinking i should fix this as my mechanic told me that it could prevent deployment when i said i was concerned about deployment w/o an accident. so if it don't deploy, the black box wouldn't be activated.
My anti-tracking hat.
very good summer fun. great to see your concerned about your cat too. i'll have to make 2 extra ones now for my feline friends that i have. cats are people too and deserve protection from 'them' too...
now the question is what to do about this? the wheels are already in motion. will people be smart enough to be able to use this tech? with great respect? my fear is not and i'm glad to see others are worried too. the times they are a changin... not necessarily for the better in this case either.
