Your life is an open book...

...if you use any of the search engines. I just found an article that describes how Google and the other search engine companies catalog all of your web searches and then make the data available to anyone who can get the specialized software to determine who you are and what you searched for online. It is just another terrible fact of doing business-as-usual online. It's really not even doing business. It's amazing how much information they can accumulate on us without our knowledge. It would appear that the more we depend upon technology, the more that we are made victims from its use. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Just another assault on our privacy rights.
