Data is the new currency. Every little bit of information is stored and added to electronic lists. These are then sold on, and on, and on. It might seem a tad annoying but it will only get worse.

As I rarely shop on line, or do any shopping research, I don't get bombarded by ads - or if I do, I don't take any notice... I don't tend to pee on trees either ;).... <br />Can't say that I like the thought, but it's sort of par for the course now<br />Stay safe<br />Blessings<br />Maxinekiwimeskreationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03001838083285721377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067146400874135525.post-32839335365892192452021-11-04T12:23:44.260+13:002021-11-04T12:23:44.260+13:00No where to run to, no where to hide.

"But I get so much access out of my techy stuff, that who cares?"<br /><br />Thing is, how many people of any age, live, knowing this near total lack of privacy? <br /><br />How many people let it enter their minds, as they go about their lives???<br /><br />I'd not have any of those Techy-On items! Because!!!! <br /><br />Or those 'Elexa do this" things!!! Because!!!!<br /><br />They say they only come on, when they recognize your voice, calling them. But! I'd not trust them.<br /><br />Privacy? That 'ship has sailed,' long time ago. :-(<br /><br />Interesting, informative post!!!!!! Thank you!

I heard someone objecting to the Covid tracer for that reason, so I went and checked what they'd have found out about me. (1) I drink a lot of coffee, (2) I do supermarket shopping frequently (3) I visit clothes shops (they'll then find I only do that once in every year or two) (3) I drink even MORE coffee!! <br /><br />I agree, Google searches then turn up repeatedly and ad nauseam, the searches I've made. I just swear and move on!

I was doing a bird survey regularly and was in the woods for three to four hours at a time, and if I needed to pee found a tree. There was no one in the woods but me anyway, until one day I discovered that trail cams had been installed. I will leave it to your imagination to conjure up the jokes that ensued!David M.
