           May 22, 2019, Big Brother is Watching You

In 1948, George Orwell wrote an often referenced book called Nineteen Eighty-Four in which people were under constant surveillance by the government, even in their homes, through digital equipment.  The government was represented by a fictional character called Big Brother and the people were constantly reminded that 'Big Brother is watching you'.

Big Brother was not just observing people, Big Brother also managed people by interfering in their lives to produce a perfectly obedient citizen. When you hear Google referred to as 'Big Brother', they are referring to this book.

And, apparently, Google has been receiving big bucks to watch the USA for Russia.

Google is recording things that you and I would get sued for recording.

Speaking of watching, you might want to put tape over your computer camera when you are not using it. It can be hacked and activated without you knowing. If you are not properly dressed when you type, you really might want to place tape over the camera. It is easy to peel off when you are using Skype.
