Same here. I said Facebook was just to spy on people for the government in 2008. Everyone thought I was nuts. Now it's common knowledge. It might have started off one way, but it ended that way.

The privacy issue is what is driving me nuts now. I have done everything to convince friends to get off google, amazon, etc, suggested alternatives, talked to them about consequences, but it's like talking to brick walls. Been saying it for years.

All day I just tell people to stop doing bad shit and they just do it anyway. By the time they realize it, it's too late.
