JMHO! laugh


Amen, brotha! And find a place tp park your horse and buggy.

Too many people say too many things they don't really know about. Nobody is watching YOU. The infrawebz tracks HABITS. Nobody knows it's Joe going to Home Depot's web page, just that some computer went there and then they send you ads that relate to home improvement. Nobody can see that Bob Jones of 17235 Maple Street in Anytown USA is doing something. "Tracking" has become a buzzword. And if it bothers you, do like Mike said. Get rid of your cell phone, never go on the internet again. And to boot, don't drive anywhere because you might see a billboard with an ad on it. And shut off that TV. They have commercials. All those little ads on your screen are, really, are commercials. If you don't want to see them, use Chrome with AdBlock and you will see an empty spot on your screen where an ad would be withough AdBlock.

Can anybody here honestly say that there has not been an instance or two where that ad they suddenly saw was actually something of interest? Everybody relax and stop feeling offended because technology is what it is.

PS. If anybody wants to see my browsing history, I will send it to you.
