At the link below, a Harvard Professor Emeritus brilliantly explains how we are being "herded", and why SMART technology & outfits like Facebook are an egregious threat to individual sovereignty.

Perhaps in their young adulthood (or maybe mid-life), our toddler grandchildren are going to wonder: how could our grandparents have been so dense? How could they have allowed this Brave New World of ours to develop? Didn't they understand the dangers of ubiquitous surveillance? Did they really believe the argument "I have nothing to hide" meant that they wouldn't be affected? How could they have not seen how the State-Corporate-Financial Complex most likely would use the gathered data to manipulate and control us? Were they asleep at the wheel, or too propagandized, or too stressed by trying to make ends meet in a declining worldwide economy? Were they too worried about, and distracted by, advancing Neofeudalism?
Kudos to Professor Zuboff for a well-spoken, insightful, and much needed interview... and for her seven years of research for the book, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism.
Not only my opinion. Be Well
