I'm addicted to the internet about as much as any of you. It's an amazing educational communicative tool. It's incredible to think that we are
finally at a point in time where conscious ideas and information are brought together into a single thing we call 'The Internet'.
Now I want you to think of the internet as a single consciousness. We are a single species using the internet, sharing our ideas and information on
something largely interconnected.
The internet was originally a government invented tool. Eventually it was brought to the public. Why? The internet is simply a giant POLL to record
useful statistics on human activity. This is a great way for the government (bigger than the government) to monitor activity all around the globe and
use it in advantageous ways.
Let's take a look at Google. Who would think a Search Engine could be profitable. In todays world it of course seems practical- selling advertising
and all. Google does this but they also have other agendas in mind.
When you open your browser you have 3 choices to go where you want. You either know the web address, use StumbleUpon, or use a search engine. Most
of us use search engines- and most of you probably use Google. You really don't have any other ways of finding things on the internet.
When you perform a search Google is logging that information. This information is recorded and run through machines that calculate information based
on location, items searched for, email addresses, names, etc. They aren't sharing this information (atleast I'd link to think they aren't) but
this information allows them to determine what movies are popular (even before release), what stock is being looked at the most, what products people
are most interested in by location, information on sickness, news... I could go on and on. Computers process this information and it is used for
business purposes. Don't forget Gmail either. Computers are scanning those emails for every piece of information they can gather. Use Google
Earth? Google knows the locations most searched for and locations that are rarely visited and records the anomalies. I imagine Google is aware of
some top secret locations. This information harvesting is why Google is developing into such a huge business.
Let me give you an example...
Say you sell junk on Ebay. Wouldn't you be interested in knowing what people search for the most on Ebay? What products are hits? What is the most
profitable? Google does this.
Predictions are easily made with all the information coming in from human sources. These aren't even predictions- they are fact; the statistic of
human activity and thought. Wars start because we make them... levels of savage intensity can easily predict coming collapses of peace. It's in our
search words and in our news.
Governments use this gathered info to peer into alternative news sources, track activity, determine social or economical collapse, make predictions,
fuel fires...
There's enough information here to be profitable on a massive scale.
The information that is being collected on the internet is extremely dangerous in the wrong hands. Governments use the internet to spy on other
governments and countries; to spy on the people. You weren't given the internet for free speech- that has been made very clear. Message boards
receive cease and desist notices for objectionable posts- that's not free speech. I used to use Google and actually find results that interested me.
Use Google anymore and the top sites are always junk- so much is filtered. It's hard to find anything worthwhile. You can't just go posting
anything on the internet.
Question how your finding new and alternative websites. You aren't being given much of a choice. Question the information being gathered from
you.
