Google. And Why It Scares The Sh*t Out Of Me.

Google is used everyday, by almost everyone for almost everything. But did you know that Google does much more than search for things for you? In fact thanks to Google Accounts I didn't even have to make a Blogger account! Once I put in my email address Google put the rest of the information in for me. Google got the information from my YouTube account. How can they do that? Oh yeah. Google owns YouTube and every possible way you could misspell "Google."If that didn't scare you. Just wait there's more.

Like I said Google does more than just search things, and they also know more about you than just your email address. Are you tired of having to type your credit card number every time you buy something online? Google Checkout will remember your credit information for a faster online shopping experience! Is FireFox running to slow for you? Use Google Chrome for a faster, smoother web browser! Tired of having all of those pesky medical records lying around? Use Google Health to keep track of and organize your medical records!

So let me get this straight? Google knows my email address, through that they got my name, age and address. Than with Google Checkout, Google knows my credit card information. With Google Chrome, Google knows every website I go to. And finally, Google gets to know all of my medical information with Google Health?
"But wait! There's more!"

On January 5th 2010 Google lunched the one thing that they didn't already have on you. That's right, Google lunched a phone. Now besides what they already know about you, they have your phone number, your friends phone numbers, how often you call your friends, how long you talk on the phone with them, and maybe, what you talk about.

So now Google knows:
1. Who you are.
2. What you buy.
3. What websites you visit.
4. What videos you watch.
5. Who you called.
6. And what's wrong with you.

What else could they need to know? How about where you are? With Google Earth you can view anywhere in the world from almost every angle. How could Google do something like this? Well I'll tell you. Google has a satellite in space, wait two satellites in space. The whole reason that they are there is to watch you from space. Not scary enough for you? Look at this picture.
You might see nothing of importance in it. See that guy a little to the right of the center? That's my father. When we first used Google Earth we looked up our old house, than switched from the satellite view to street view, we couldn't believe this! Earth isn't all that Google is watching. Google is also watching the Moon and Mars. Why? Because Google is big brother, and big brother knows all.

With Google Earth Google knows:
1. Who you are. And where you are.
2. What you buy. And where you bought it.
3. What websites you visit. And where you visited it from.
4. What videos you watch. And where you watched it.
5. Who you called. And where you called from.
6. And what's wrong with you. And they've got a video of how it happened to you that they posted to YouTube.

Good thing they're poor right? Wrong.
Google made $1.5 billion dollars in the second quarter alone. That's around $4 million dollars a day. So now the company that has all of your information also has a ton of money. Does anyone else think that Google would be the ultimate James Bond villain?

"First we watch you. Than we murder you with sharks with firkin lasers on there firkin heads!"

So in other words, Google has pretty much taken over the world without anyone noticing.
Know what the worst thing about this is? There is almost nothing you can do about it. By simply using the Internet Google wins, every ad you see gets them money. The only way to actually beat Google is to stop using the Internet all together. So if you really are going to try and beat Google all I can say is that your a stronger man than I.
