Then along came Facebook & Twitter a few years later and the death of privacy as most people where more than happy to share every detail of their lives with the entire world via their Facebook Wall or Tweets.
Now all intelligence agencies have teams dedicated to spying on people of interest through social media.

i was thinking of this the other day, how we are being conditioned to volunteer what we do, when we do it and where we do it all day every day and its only going to increase with every generation. i am no conspiracy theorist but its a pretty ingenious plan and if it wasn't a plan, a very sweet deal for them to just happen. however bitcoins are so popular in part because they are anonymous, so if they can't be tracked then where is the benefit?
