- This article makes me a bit frightened of the internet.

Human beings have a tough enough time thinking critically. Ever wonder why most public debates revolve around absolutes? Republican vs. Democrats? Red vs. Blue? Universal Healthcare vs. Socialized Medicine? Freedom vs. Terrorism? Good vs. Evil? Light vs. Darkness?
Imagine if computers profiled an individual based on their internet behaviour? Will people, living the binary, completely accept or deny?
Should the type of targeted ads served to a particular person define a person? Or how 'bout the blog entry that I'm writing at this moment. Scary. It's not just the Big G, but also Y! and AOL, Comcast, AT&T and all the interested interweb advertising platforms that collect your browsing history, online purchases and search queries.
I wonder if I can run applications on my local server instead of web-based tools to ease m' paranoia.
It could be a brave new world soon. No it won't. I'm hoping not. -
