Don't tread on Google, rocket scientist boy

Last week's post of Technology (Every Wednesday) finds Kevin Maney saying, "But, you know, much as I couldn't live without it, Google stinks." This article can be found at USA Today. He rants on about how we are all gonna' give up all our personal info and let it be merged with online engines so as to make our lives easier. No wonder I have not been reading what this 'rocket scientist' has to say. He further dictates this will happen by 2010. He has many comments and has become a self-appointed Nostradamus of things Google. Seriously, I am not making this up. Go read it.

After some discussion about this with the local geeks and nerdlings most have been left guffawing and horse laughing as I walked away. One fellow web surfer made the remark, "He's in the money section of this rag and that's frightening!" In all fairness, let it be said that the American public may not be as paranoid as your average geek. Yet, I find some satistfaction that 100% of the people that read the copy I have believe that it's barnyard material. Yes, I carried the article around all weekend (thanks Marshall, for the heads up!). Mr. Maney is certainly entitled to his opinion. Those folks that are still in shock about identity theft may disagree. To accomplish such goals our rights to privacy will disappear. May the Good Lord help us make sure such things don't transpire. He probably composed this little ditty on a Darth Jobs computer. Go figure...
