Must say this is very interesting! Once people wanted protection and was looking for unquestioned existence of privacy. Yet everyone with an email account on one of the bigger sites and uses a smart phone signs away their privacy. Everything is tied together, internet to our banks to our houses, we are digitally connected yet we cry about our Government doing the same thing that we click yes to a apps terms and agreements for usage. Yet we should be pissed at it, are we all terrorist, but are we all use the MVP cards to key chains, Amazon for shopping, typically with the same credit cards. We are all starting to go towards the non-receipted cash sites, receipts emails to us, utilities email to use and then paid for by a mobile device or smart phone because of what is now being the norm allows of life in the digital technological age.

I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do. 2001: A Space Odyssey
