YEs Heleen, that is how it works these days. The systems track all we do, and sometimes we must decide not to be tracked. Google is a tracking service, and when you enter their world with an ID, you are tracked and will see the results in the advertisings you get. This is the new world, I understand it, work in it, but don't like the developements.

And we know who exactly were these online people! :-)

Thank you Ruud, for sharing the Google Anaspylytics! Incredible, I think, every time when I'm considering... What on earth would these watchers want to achieve with all of it? 
'Safety', we are told. But too many data will cause too many mistakes as well.
I heard from someone who knew someone who once bought a one way flight ticket (and unhappily happened to pay cash) from Europe to the States, just because he wanted to decide by himself when and from where to travel back. Since then he apparently is on a list - which is sad for him, because he has to travel a lot to overseas to speak on symposia, and since then every time at the airport he's the dupe. Looses tons of time and gains a lot of frustration.

Welcome Neil! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. But beware, we're not alone here, be aware! :-)
Welcome Eva! Hmm, books suspected...
Thank you Borderline G. for your great pictures, beautiful artistamps.

WOW! Its time more people woke up about this! Thanks for starting the awareness and Conversation! There is no such thing as privacy anywhere anymore, i have friends who have had their pictures pop up on Google earth "innocently" and other places on the net. Its not paranoia or conspiracy, simply the truth. The world we exist in is a Technocracy, not "democracy".... Keep this Going, please!

Very interesting group, Heleen!

I don't think they scan the mail in Morocco (but I KNOW all the post office staff read my postcards...). But anyway, here you feel guilty just for sending mail...

The first time I wanted to send a parcel with books, I had to explain to the employer, his boss and their "big boss" that there were just two children books in the parcel. I offered to open the packet for them to see, but finally it wasn't necessary. Books in Morocco are terribly suspicious...

Thanks to all of you for your contributions so far!
Note that your telephones and emails will be tapped from now on :-)

 

Awesome movie by Ruben van der Vleuten, thanx for sharing, Borderline Grafix!

Good to know that unknown beholders can be viewed secretly, too.
And of course for mail lovers like me it's great to be able to follow a mailed item on his/her journey.

For the ones who didn't see the video yet: see the parcel above. Can you see where the hidden camera's eye has been hidden?!?

Also his short movie 'Highlights' is worth seeing (see the video at the bottom of his website).
