We’re all paranoid these days, with Google listening to our every word and Facebook tossing our personal information around like so much confetti.
My phone reads my emails and pops flight information into my calendar. Convenient, but just a tad creepy.
And yes, I can search Incognito to keep targeted ads from talking to me on my tablet. Psst, did you forget? Don’t you want to buy…?
I can, but I don’t.
Truth is, as pathetic as I am with tech, I like it. Forgetting my cell phone at home makes me break out in a cold sweat. I thank Google just to hear her say, “No problem.” How cute is that?
Am I aware that some machine somewhere is crunching numbers about my spending habits, that Big Brother is watching me?
Hmmm…
Just a thought, but it occurs to me that while the tech aspect may be new, someone was always watching…
The Palace of the Grand Master, Rhodes, Greece.
….and we better cover the camera lens on our laptops because someone might be watching what we’re doing. What a world!

Hi, Aimer – I agree that the ‘Google Watch’ is concerning….but the convenience prevents me from breaking free. I have turned my microphone off on my devices though and that has seemed to help somewhat!

I probably should be concerned, but I’m having too much fun playing with all the tech 🙂

Oh, no, don’t think I’m a tech guru, because I’m so not! I can’t figure out Twitter and you don’t want to be anywhere near when I get a new device 🙂
Tech is like golf for me, I suck at the game and play anyway 🙂
