Something to Think About

When George Orwell published his book, "1984," readers invariably assumed that "Big Brother" was the government.  (Many blindly and stubbornly still do.)
 
In reality, Big Brother is turning out be such corporations as Equifax, Transunion, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Comcast, Time-Warner Cable, Charter Communications, Cablevision, Verizon, LifeLock, Debix, Axcion Corporation, and others, which have assembled massive data farms which are now being used with data mining, data hoarding, and data manipulation technologies to intimidate, manipulate, coerce, and control much of today's society.
