Big Brother is watching you

Today’s my birthday.
And I’m not just saying this to get birthday-wishes, but because I saw this on Google this morning:

Google-verjaardag

And I though, “Hey, what a coincidence. What would be the meaning of these cakes? A famous birthday?”

And then I scrolled over the image and saw this:

Translation: Congratulations, Charlotte!
Translation: Congratulations, Charlotte!

And yeah, that does creep me out a little.

Yes, I admit, it’s mostly very convenient that Google remembers all sorts of things, like passwords and usernames and search terms. But a part of me does feel uncomfortable about all this.

But hey, I won’t let it spoil my day and isn’t that exactly what they want?

      Indeed it does. But somehow I fear I won’t really act on it. It’s just so easy most of the times, the stuff that I don’t have to remember, but Google does…

      Anyway, thanks a lot!!
