Still very much on my mind: Increasingly, we are watched not by people but by algorithms. Amazon and Netflix track the books we buy and the movies we stream, and suggest other books and movies based on our habits. Google and Facebook watch what we do and what we say, and show us advertisements based on our behaviour. Google even modifies our web search results based on our previous behaviour. Smartphone navigation apps watch us as we drive, and update suggested route information based on traffic congestion. And the National Security Agency, of course, monitors our phone calls, emails and locations, then uses that information to try to identify terrorists. Big Brother is an all encompassing NSA computer. Consequently if OBAMA doesnt kill off this abuse of power he will end up being BIG BROTHER.
