Goolge Searches

I find it very disturbing that Google and other search engines are able to track the different searches we look at on a regular basis. Not only that, but many of the records that Google is keeping, date back two years ago, and it is disturbing knowing that someone can jump on your computer and find out the information you have been searching for on the internet. It makes me wonder what people know about me that I want to keep to myself. And what if you are using a computer that completely removes everything off of the computer that was used that day when it shuts down. Are those computers exempt from this or are we being tracked everywhere we go? AS of now, there are no privacy laws that are protecting us from any information on the internet. This makes me very nervous, but the internet is such a convenient thing to have, its like we are taking things … like security for granted. I think it is time to crack down and start creating laws to protect us in the long run, if not I think that the Internet is going to be out of control and we are going to run into a lot of problems.
