You own a Computer. It may be a phone, a desktop, a laptop, a tablet, or a fucking refrigerator that has some dumb touch screen hooked up to the WORLD WIDE WEB that tells you when to buy milk.
Do not deny it. You have some sort of Computer in your life.
What you don't know is that any Computer around you is tracking everything you do. Heck, you might even know this, but you just don't care.
What You Know
Computers are great. They tell you the weather, so you can figure out how to dress for the day. They tell you GPS information, so that you can figure out how long your trip will be. They tell you about great playlists, so that you can be happy as you listen to your favorite songs. The tell you what sort of porn to watch, tailored to your exacting needs, so that you can forget about physical interactions. They show you the best games to play, so that you forget about baseball diamonds, football fields, and hiking routes, because you don't need those things. Activities outside without a computer goes against what a computer wants.
What You Think You Know
Sure, you have a VPN and you use 7 proxies. But before you ever bought or built your computer, you were comprimised. You might think that your OS (operating system) is secure because it is FOSS, but you never understood that all of the hardware involved was totally comprimised by the manufacturer.
