Forget about George Bush watching your every move, we may have found the real “Big Brother“! 

I happened across this story from the Financial Times today.

I have to tell ya, it’s a little discomforting to read what Eric Schmidt of Google says about obtaining personal information on the world wide population.

On one hand, I love Google. They provide an outstanding product and service, but at what cost?

Google has stated in the past that they want to organize the worlds information. I’m down with that as long as it’s not the personal information they want to organize! But it seems Google is shooting for more personal data on you and me.

Eric Schmidt stated recently;

“We are very early in the total information we have within Google. The algorithms will get better and we will get better at personalisation.

“We cannot even answer the most basic questions because we don’t know enough about you. That is the most important aspect of Google’s expansion.”

“The goal is to enable Google users to be able to ask the question such as ‘What shall I do tomorrow?’ and ‘What job shall I take?’”

Is it just me, or does anyone else have a problem with Google wanting to make everyday decisions for you? Have we come so far as to not be able to, or not wanting to, make simple everyday decisions such as “What shall I do tomorrow” or “What job shall I take”? 

Ummm, okay. That’s a little freaky. Hey Eric, dude, love the Search Engine and Webmaster Tools, but I don’t want you in my life, like, from here on out.

It’s not you, it’s me, I need to start seeing other Search Engines.
