Virtual Revolution Part 3

For the use of the internet to be free we have to give out information, for example the only way businesses on the internet can make money if they are a free service is ads. They advertise other companies products on their site so they can make money. Another way to make money is for a website to keep track of everything the user searches for or does on their product. When they keep all of that information they use it to figure out what the most popular product is out there and what people are searching for and interested in. They then sell that information to other companies so they can make more money and curve they products to what people want. For now the information that sites are taking is not a big deal. Its not a big deal because they do not release any of that information to the general public. The only thing they are using your information for is to make money, so they don't get personal and use just use your information they use the information as a mass, as all of the public at once. In that case you don't have to worry about people snooping at what you do because that's not what they are trying to do. In my opinion the amount of information that the internet takes from you is reasonable. Its nothing to freak out about I mean that's the price you pay for it being free.
