We might as well ditch technology altogether and travel in bullock carts instead of airplanes, then. If tech has a problem, then solve it rather than throwing that tech away.

  >We might as well ditch technology altogether Why? Does your public transport track your trips? do they sell your data to Uber/lyft so lyft/uber bombards you with save x% on your next trip? >travel in bullock carts instead of airplanes Why? are all airline companies owned by one entity which also owns a host of other companies which can abuse your data from one service for their advantage? >If tech has a problem, then solve it rather than throwing that tech away No, what I said was people who want real privacy and who aren't addicted to smartphones use a non smart phone this doesn't mean we fear the end of world like George Orwell.

I also stay indoors so that public security cameras can't see me :) I don't have a bank account or Amazon account :) I live curled up in my basement shaking with terror at the prospect of my privacy being violated :)

  okay, this is the same attitude I am met with when I say this statement. There seems to be a either full optimistic response or a pessimistic response. I am not saying abandon smartphones all ye who want privacy, I am saying that for those who aren't addicted to smartphones and want privacy they use non smart phones. In a world where a private company owns public security cameras, yeah you should stay indoors because they track you every hour of every day, they built a machine to spy on you and they'll devour you. Doing something is subject to realizing if the +ve aspects outweigh the -ve aspects, in a world where Google owns android/chrome/search/gmail/nest/adsense {insert million products here} In this digital world these companies know more about us from analytic than we ourselves know, but that doesn't mean being pessimistic to anyone who suggests a particular use case for maintaining privacy.
