Really dig the video dude; however, I’m not sure I have a massive problem with Google having all my information, my history etc. Like sure it’d be better if they didn’t have the ability to see what I do all the time but to be honest they provide me with convenient services I don’t have the funds to pay for at the moment and are able to tailor advertisements to my own interests which I prefer over mass media advertisements.

I really like your blog! It is so crazy how much access google has to not only our search history by nearly every aspect of our lives. However we never really stop to think about it. Really cool clip that highlighted this! This article I found very interesting and I think it complements your ideas nicely. https://www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2013/05/10/15-ways-google-monitors-you Great blog.

Video was awesome! I don’t even want to know the weird stuff I’ve googled over the years. Will definitely be logging out more often now. Check out this article if you want a more in-depth account of how Google makes money from our data: http://bit.ly/2iROSbc
