Who is Following you while you navigate the web? Wanna Find out?

This is more in the Technology field than Science, but still, We are all being tracked, everywhere we go online, no one questions that, But we should be questioning who is tracking us and for what reason?

It's a subject I find fascinating because a lot more people are tracking you than you would think. This is coming from a guy who knows about net security uses a VPN and a firewall with proxy settings and network security from AVG. So, I can promise fewer people are tracking me than some average joe,

I made this Video using Alienexpanse as an example, But, This doesn't really reflect AE, These people are personally tracking me through interactions I've somehow had with them. Who knows, Maybe I stole one of their pictures and changed it just enough to call it my own, I do that without remorse and often.

Still, This should be shocking to some people, We aren't just being tracked. We are being watched intimately by armies of other websites, every move we make.

Enjoy.

I don't know why the Video didn't post as a video, Weird, Anyway, It shows a list of all the websites tracking me about thirty websites in all, When I visit AE, But these sites are tracking me personally, Not AE.

There is no privacy online anymore, Maybe there never was.

Maybe the internet is the ‘All seeing Eye’

Maybe the internet is the ‘All seeing Eye’

I like the analogy on that.

To that, I ask.
If the internet ever became sentient Since it is omnipresent already, Would it then be a God?

Who am I kidding, To many people, it is already:/

On a similar theme.I heard a tech expert being interviewed.She said any time now if it’s not being done already,gathering our information will be used to price what we buy.So for example you live in an exclusive area and are driving your top of the range BMW and using the most expensive cell phone.You will be quoted a higher price for a holiday,a flight a hotel room etc,than somebody sat on a bus being driving through the projects whilst using a cheap and cheerful phone.
Interesting times!

I can see that happening, it's just another reason to be Froogle, If I had all the money in the world, I would still be looking for the best way to stretch a dollar, I knew a guy that made quite a bit of money on Wall Street once, He made a lot of wise investments, Then suddenly, His stockbroker was busted for running a Ponzi scheme, The guy lost everything, But was lucky enough not to be charged for being so high up in the scheme. But, The guy honestly didn't know he was in a scheme. The Lesson I learned from this friend was, No one will ever watch your finances any closer than you will, It's wise to keep track of them.

Thanks bro, I'm downloading them and adding them to my pc tools folder, I can never have enough tools brother

I see I double-clickied AKG but you got the idea.

Now that you mention it, as freeware I've used these too
WinISO Standard 6 - Edit, Create, Convert, ISO Software, Burn ISO and make Bootable ISO
Revo Uninstaller

These are more for network admin but I've definitely put a lot of mileage on them. Again, freeware
Download PuTTY - a free SSH and telnet client for Windows
WinSCP :: Official Site :: Download
** this last one isn't just for Windows. I've used it quite a bit on Linux systems - from a Windows machine

Your thread about PC tools was like Marvel Mystery Oil. Took a while to work its way in but it loosened up the frozen parts inside my skull. Been out of the game a while.
