Tenner, Yes they are the biggest threat, Im a user of adwords and google webmaster tools and I can get tons of info from people that have visited my websites.
Ash......Yes in the Olive groves!, I do have a house and everything you know.
Oldeguy, I work using the internet and am quite happy with my security settings and systems, The biggest culprits for tracking us are mobile apps, I dont use many, I have ad blockers and never save passwords or usernames online, but I'm still being followed by algorithms via google and others, its a part of life.
Having a smartphone's GPS disabled is a good idea too, recently I took a pic at a coffee bar and google maps added it to the map data, Lucky they asked me to confirm it first.
Molly, Yes humankind adapts but I imagine there will become a point when we dont, perhaps not for a very long time I hope.
GG, Technology certainly has been beneficial, the last 10 or so years has seen huge changes to how we live, there will always be down sides its hopeful that we humans remain stoic and accept tech that benefits us and not someone else.
Ok, So Smartphones can be stolen and hacked, I guess kids today shouldnt be extreme snowflakes, now they all have smart phones and internet, when I was a kid I ate crayons and sand, times have changed, I do pity the young folk and their future.
However as the world ends on Friday its a mute point, but the image below showing the good people heading somewhere shows no kids or animals.
Mimi!, Are we not already less human? But I see your point.
Molly, I do think being chipped will become mandatory in the near future, Govt control of citizens exists in many forms, this will be their icing on the cake.
These public services cards and what you commented do show that if you are with the programme doors will open, you will benefit in some areas by having it, punished without it.
Further reading shows that the idea is for people to decide the level of data they carry in their chips, but prone to being hacked by the Govts who can upload and download your private data.
I spent a few moments researching and it seems they can store masses of data in a single chip, There were some rumours that FEMA etc were going to make chipping US citizens mandatory, probably false but I see it in your future.
Bearwoman, give him a chance, he will do anything for apple pie, as free says he is a bit of an Irish furniture gigolo, He does say satisfaction guaranteed, win win for all.
Bearwoman, No not because you are new, the man digs rubbing things with his hands, but wants paying, Id say offer him coffee and some nice cake and he will come a rubbing.
JJ and bearwoman, A cute couple, all it took was a chair, I tried getting one cute woman with a Victorian dining suite, failed!, I see a budding romance here.
JJ, Trying the food and trying to speak the lingo is much better than complaining like most people who visit our shores. Them little fishies are probably fresh sardines, better than in a tin.
jj, It's such a terrible problem in other countries with people not all speaking English, If anyone is planning on moving they should at least learn as much of the "foreign" language as possible before hand. And dont forget all the food is foreign muck.
Molly is right, Its way hotter inland, my area would kill you in a day with this heat.
I awoke with the dumb today so not quite sure whats going on.
Tatami, whether imaginary or not, We all have someone who loves us in some way, even the meek and ridiculous people around us, or here.
Gypsydoll, I admit I didnt pay too much attention to the comment in question, but yes we do exist, and we should try to make the most of what we have and use our emotions without fear of ridicule, life is really too short to not make the best of what we have, They say life is the awkward period between birth and death, Its only awkward if we let it.
Im also thinking about collecting bicycles and selling them to raise funds for the Native Americans, Should I be successful I will then try stopping world hunger.
Tenner, First coffee and cig = awareness and awakening, feeling the caffeine and nicotine pulse through your body, kickstarting the brain, So I suppose love is the same without the ciggy and coffee...thats weird though.
Humans and Microchips
Ash, back on topic (yay) No you dont need to be chipped like that, We will soon hear of how this will play out though.
