RE: Do you even internet Bruh?!? What is your data worth to you?

in #steemit5 years ago

Wow. One of the best Steem promoting posts I have seen here in a long time. I love the style, very comprehensible and without too many tech terms that most people don´t understand anyway :) Great piece.

Btw that "big brother is watching you" thing is getting really uncomfortable and creepy. It sometimes feels like the internet literally reads your thoughts. Monitoring private messages and calls and fishing for keywords icnluded in the convos is already a norm. I think even George Orwell would be surprised...

Thank you!! I always think that many have just taken the wrong approach to promoting it's values in a simple way. Somehow I have a hard time to get any of my real life friends to join yet I get asked for links all the time to read my blog...lol

I agree it's gone to far even past Orwellian levels. I just have conversations about going to the mountains without looking anything up, suddenly my facebook feed will be full of hotel adds for Rockies resorts and tours. Even outside our complex, there has been a facial recognition van parked outside for a few years, they change the van from time to time but they are watching. I'm not trying to be paranoid, I don't care what they watch cause I'm no doing anything wrong but it's worst than the average person realizes.

Oh wow, that sounds really scary. I mean the facial recognition van. It´s not just a feeling anymore, you are being watched indeed. And you are right, the reality is much worse than what most people realize... I think it has something to do with the boiling frog theory.

Yes that would be a pretty accurate description. It's painful to watch knowing we all have to go in one direction or the other as a society. I could say many things on the topic!

We could easily name it ,, boiling frog fact" not theory.

Yeah, good point.
