- What if your free email provider indexed every email you sent or received for keywords?
- What if they provided a free search engine that remembered every search forever?
- What if they also owned a great video sharing site and remembered every video you watched?
- What if they offered free blogging sites, remembered every visit, and indexed every post and comment?
- What if they offered a free website analytics tool that anyone could use to keep track of every site visitor?
- What if they had an ad agency that tracked every visitor of every website wherever they went so they could deliver more targeted advertising?
- What if the same company offered free maps and directions with satellite or even street-level views and remembered every location you viewed?
- What if they made the maps really easy by linking them to the GPS device in your phone so you can never get lost?
- What if you could use their on-line productivity software to create all your documents and financial records and share them with anyone.
- What if they let you store backup copies of all your computer files on their servers for safe keeping and kept a copy of your encryption key?
- What if they cross-referenced all these different data points and shared them with others?
George Orwell? 1984? The real thing could be so much worse than old George ever dreamed.
