3. Show up with a prize

Here's your pair of bracelets, Katherine, and we'll be taking you to your all expenses paid room!

What a fucking sap! Typical libertarian naivete.

4. it is gettig weird,.

I recently got paid from some contract work I did, and decided to get a new mountan bike, my primary mode of transportation (my old one is like 15 years old!). I started to some research on the net to see what was availible in the price range I could afford. After a few days of lookiing I noticed that when going to random news sites or any that run the large image based google ads, I would only see ads for discound bike stores! So currently not only does google keep track of your searching history, but they do very targeted advertising. I found this rather disconcerting,. . minority report is here now.

5. Ignorance is the issue.

The real problem is that people are using technology that they understand very little. If you want to protect your privacy you are going to have to learn something about the devices you are using. Your only other choice would be to stop using things you don't understand.
