Internet consumption has increased exponentially in the last couple of years. We flocked to the interweb seeking entertainment and found a sliding scale of addiction. With a healthy dose of concern and indifference, I have been watching the industry giants acquiring and attempting to acquire each other. I wonder....

ReplyDeleteFor those of you not familiar with the "Resident Evil" movie and video franchise:
The Umbrella Corporation is a fictional version of the ultimate evil corporate giant, controlling anything from biotech to computers.
One of the characters is a self-aware supercomputer named the "Red Queen". (Apparently a homage to Lewis Carroll and HAL 9000)
Lady Giga.

ReplyDeleteAs a military spouse, OPSEC has been drilled into my head. I bet most of my friends on Facebook don't even know what ship my husband is on. But I figure the people that really want to know, will find out with no problem. I'm not sure there are any secrets anymore. But then again, I tend to be slightly paranoid. :)
I think it is a reasonable idea to encourage people, companies and society to live under the following proviso: no more secrets.

ReplyDelete@dbs, Big Brother's Little Sister?:)
ReplyDelete@Meg, until our privacy is protected that's how it should be. The question isn't whether you're paranoid, the question is are you paranoid enough?;)
@Laoch, Optimism. It's the hope that counts.
Lack of competition is never a good thing.
@RC, hello, I think to some degree we all are.
@Sprite,lol, yeah pretty much:). You said "goo", heehe.
@Pearl, I agree completely, especially now that someone can get in anywhere.
Plus, I'm really not interested in the updates like "having dinner....chewing".
@Vinny, we've all had those "productive" days. Hang in there, you're still connected.
@Robert, it sounds funny, but you lost me. Please clarify...Facepatch? What am I missing?
You make a good point. The answer is no.
