So as we are now being forced into a digital world do you agree or disagree to our privacy being gradually eroded, more or less everything is going " online " and trying to get a human means jumping through hoops stored,get to speak to a person, not only that but all your information is stored and "harvested " .

And now the government are wanting to access your bank account or any other financial affairs you may have thought are safe from this invasion, the final stage of this process will be digital currency and I'm sure that will bring more scams to fleece you of your money, there's now " facial " recognition monitoring your daily activities, we are heading into an open prison where everything you do is .

This whole process is about big brother knowing all your movements and financial affairs, there's no privacy anymore and if you are caught making any " mistakes " along the way expect a fine through the post, cctv cameras everywhere and the uk is the most heavily country in Europe to have the most cameras, we are humans and we make mistakes, but a camera never "lies" eh.

I'm glad I've had the good times, and big corporate companies and the government will rule your lives, and you'll be told what to do,this situation is only going to get worse, the future for the younger people isn't promising and the new data centres will gobble up every bit of information available, people aren't realising that your freedom is being is taken away, I fear the worse for many individuals who aren't tech savy as this will cause many people problems.

Yes technology is great in some aspects, but we are also slipping into AI technology and this will also create havoc, imagine a computer running your life and not knowing if your messaging a person but in reality your chatting away with a computer, with no emotion or actually understanding your problem is, it's bad enough doing "live chat" with someone from India or the Philippines trying to sort a problem out, which takes much longer than trying to access the company, it's all about

MONEY and cheap labour elsewhere, right that's my moan over with have a great day to you all!

Most people don't realize that hard cash is a fantasy on a large scale, unless your a drug dealer with lots of cash, or have a stockpile of gold bars. Meaning, that most money in the world is make believe....it's just digital.... not Bitcoin, which is made up money too, but there really only is digital. Paper money has no real stable value, and Data is the new currency, there is no privacy if your typing on a keyboard connected to the internet, ...and the old adage of;' never put anything on the internet you don't want to be out there in the ether of the cloud in some server storage farm'.... Nothing is for free, we pay for it with our privacy and our data....so all these people on these chat rooms and dating sites putting up really personal photos and stuff are just posting a time ticking bomb down the line.

Even the HR of most companies now doing a serious hire will do a FB, and twitter search on you, and if you have posting's of yourself drunk and passed out...your not getting the job. If your a bully or complain a lot, your a problem child....and will get passed over. Best solution is, don't post that stuff.... and stop believing you have some false sense of security about your privacy on the internet....it's only as private as you make it.

Anonymity.....don't use your name ,don't post your personal photo's, or address, or phone numbers, or anything attached and traceable to you in the real world. Anyone can be traced or hacked...but that school yard stuff is kid's stuff....the real hack is your data. Nobody really cares about your drunken debauchery in Cabo 10 years ago,....they, the powers that be, want to know the place you stayed, how much money you spent, and on what, so you can be data mined for advertising and product manipulation purposes.....catered adds and politics.

Money talks and B.S. walks....always follow the money for the truth about power.

Cookies! Back in the day they were a tasty biscuit, probably still are but I think our privacy has already been eroded way more than we actually know about. I think the horse has already bolted on this one.🤷‍♀️
