This comment is right on the money. No pun intended. It was a serious mistake to dream that this sort of activity (surveillance and ad services) is the basis for the economy of the future. Time to wake up. My heart sinks everytime I see an office floor of long tables and computer monitors. This is not the future we want. Don't care how much some people are getting paid now, or how easy they think their "jobs" are, the salaries will inevitably drop and the "work" will become increasingly mind-numbing. The purpose of all this: To analyse people's behaviour and serve them advertising (or worse). To pretend that people do not need to possess good judgment anymore because computers can tell us what decisions to make. It is not an American Dream. It's a nightmare that is just beginning to take shape. Wake up.
