    Ohh! How careless of them!
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"

    I don't know about other parts of the US but here in Ohio there are grocery stores that have member cards that are scanned they will give you a discount on the items on sale as long as you scan your card.
    What they are really doing is gathering info on what you drink, wash with, wipe with, read, eat, snack, smoke, use birth control all the thousands of items you buy at the grocery store are scanned and put into a file marked YOU.
    I find that pretty upsetting.

    Google has collected and sold info on your searches for years. The popups and unsolicited emails are usually tailored to your interest on searches you have made. We would all be upset if we knew all the info that is collected and stored in Google and others databases.
