Big brother has landed. Follows your every step at Google. Using free email? Good luck. There are things to never say on the Internet. Each keystroke counts..,oy Panagiota

We've had your number for years already, kitty-cat. Everything you think and do is under our control. Bwa-ha-ha! ~ gw

Wow! We need to open our eyes and see where our mind goes. Do we really have control over it. I’m always telling my 4 year old grandson, “That’s an ad. They want you to buy this or that.” Awareness and pulling away...

Smart move to have those webcams taped over... Seems that all this technology has unleashed a mighty dark criminal element. :) gw

It's frightening how Orwellian society is today, isn't it?! I couldn't have imagined it when I first the read the book (in about 1967). :) gw
