Description

You take a simple trip to the store for bread and milk. What is recorded about this trip, and how long will those records last? This pamphlet lays out in chilling detail how you are tracked, both physically and digitally. The huge capacity of hard disks makes it possible for corporations to track your every move, from cell phone use, to position, to buying habits, to when you are home, to your texts and tweets. So much information is saved that abuse of it is extremely tempting. Recent notable cases of spying and surveillance are highlighted. This pamphlet is a catalog of what is being stored about your life every day. After reading this, the only question is whether you will toss out your cellphone altogether, or only remove the battery.
