gm, thank you
ReplyDeleteRemember that editing or deleting this data will just hide it from (your) view. Google still has the information stored and the government has access to it. It's just like with "deleting" your Facebook account.
ReplyDeleteTadeusz Szewczyk So true.
ReplyDeleteHi Richard Wright Thank you kindly for the acknowledgement. All the best to you.
ReplyDeleteThat is both scary and cool at the same time Oleg Moskalensky!
ReplyDeleteIt's only scary, IMHO, for people who want 'privacy', Steady Demand. That's not consistent with the digital world we live in.
ReplyDeleteSo, either you stay on the grid or off the grid, can't be at both places at the same time. Once you get it and still want to be on the grid - that's the downside that you have to live with, not be afraid of it.
With that said - if you do want the level of modern sophistication Google Now and similar services provide - they can't create such from smoke - they need data. So, they get it and, it's cool as you say, how Google shows us precisely what that data is. Personally - I think it's cool. :)

ReplyDeleteIf you have nothing to hide, why don't you go naked then?
Richard Wright
ReplyDeleteOn Google you are always naked ;-) It's a metaphor.
Tadeusz Szewczyk, when I'm at home, in private, ready to take a shower - I do go naked (just like everyone else). However, when I get into a public setting, where such behavior is considered to be inappropriate - I do not.
ReplyDeleteSame thing here. If you want to keep a piece of data on your own computer, disconnected from the Internet (ie a private setting) - by all means. But if you're going to venture into a public space (ie connecting to the Internet or going to various sites and entering your personal info etc.) - don't expect privacy. It's the nature of the beast.
The problem with most people is that they want to use the services that the Internet provides and still scream for privacy. The two don't mix. So, if you want your precious privacy - do NOT get online, period. It's that simple. But if you're reading this, then obviously you're not listening to my advice and thus enter the world where the word 'privacy' simply does not exist. You need to understand that and either live with it or get off permanently, change everything you've relayed earlier in public, and never get back on again.
Privacy is NOT coming back, you can't ask Amazon to ship you a package without specifying where it's going. Yes, Amazon does a good job keeping your address safe, but they aren't completely immune to being attacked by some hacker from Ukraine or China and then poof - your address is somewhere else and there's no end where it can go. That's just how it is in today's world.
Once you get on the Internet - you're now in Public space, not Private. And Privacy only works in Private spaces.
Richard Wright, I appreciate your sentiments, but no need to stick up for me and this isn't anything that should be 'reported'. Tadeusz Szewczyk was trying to make a colorful point and I responded to it. He didn't mean any disrespect here, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate it, Richard Wright. No harm done.
