Day-by-day I become more concerned about the growing influence played by google on us!! google knows every thing about us…

How many times do we google* the web a day?! what kind of stuff do we google?! and to what extent do our search queries reflect who we are and/or what we do?!

Google keeps huge logs about every little beace of information it can absorbs!!.. why?!
Google insists on placing a lot of data in cookies stored in our machines!!.. why?!

I don’t want to mention how severe and privacy threatening are some google services.. like for instance ”google desktop” or “google earth”…
I think we should take the google phenomena seriously!!

BTW, this is a very good and brief article written by Bruce Schneier on google and privacy:

* the word “google” has been added to the most of English dictionaries as verb, and it means searching the net using Google website!!
