Here's the problem I'm having.
I'm trying to not just determine how to mask ourselves now, but to determine what technology that is being used to accomplish what we see.
We know its happening, but we don't know how.
Maybe, rather than placing blame or declaring how upsetting it is, we can begin asking about what in the internet allows this to occur, first?
Can we not ask the Mozilla foundation's forum what exist to allow browser tracking that we observed in, say, Google searches? If we are observing this from Google, we can best believe that every search engine is employing similar technology as well. And, if its done by search engines, its not stretch to understand that others are doing it as well. And, this is easy to see. So there must be something that is common in browsers which provides the information that is being used as an assistance to our searches.
For example, in one of the last conferences I attended, one 2-hour seminar addresses collection and use of big data to make it easy for customers to reach the core of what they do. This technology is being taught at university levels across the world. It has become the interwoven into the fabric of those who have been graduating over the past 5 years.
This is viewed not as invasion of privacy, but, rather data useful for rapidly getting useful information back to its users.
So, understanding that this is the educational training that is now a part of the curriculum, I expect that I will see advancing technology attempting to provide something useful from that training.
Again, I am taking NO POSITION. But, I am aware of the landscape comprising those who become employed.
How many of us have gone to a purchase site and as we view selected items we see at the bottom of the page a pictorial listing of the products we already have clicked to view. This is not just Amazon, this is just about everyone. Try DealExtreme.
Now, to understand that technology that is common and in use from Microsoft, Apple, Google, Dogpile, Yahoo, AOL, and anyone who has a site where users come to see stuff...no matter if they give their ID or not.
What is that technology?
