Data mining

[midnight rambler]

After a number of incidents I've concluded that there are databases out there which hold a huge amount of info on everyone who is 'on the grid', all of this info having come from many diverse sources. What has impressed me most in the past year or so is the amount of info telemarketers have on me along with the degree of detail. And if telemarketers have this level of knowledge on everyone you can be sure that that's just the tip of the iceberg. It gives one pause. At this point one must consider EVERY SINGLE BIT of info that they 'pass on' to anyone else, e.g. email addys, phone #s, street addresses, youtube accounts, 'net sites one posts on, etc., etc.

I don't like it.
