Does big brother have to much control over us, and how are we going to redefine our selves in the ever changing work environment?

Big Brother, this sounds like something you hear out of George Orwell's book 1954, but it's happening now as you read this blog.  More and more government agency are hiring out side sources to retrieve personal information about us, some for good use and other's for statistics, but have they gone to far?   I believe the government has to much control over private information over there citizens, and they don't have right tools to keep this information private.  Time and time again you hear about how someones private information was hacked or leaked, because of this the United States losses billions of dollars in tax payers money each year.  As technology advances so does our chances of deception. We think we can trust fire walls, security questions, bank passwords and so on, but we are wrong. Thousands of people today are being watched by computer hackers, government agency, marketing firms, we are all sheep in the fields of technological advancement. How do we protect our private information from others? We can't, unless you completely detach yourself from society and live in the woods. Scary thought, but it's true, the only way to keep yourself from being a countless victim is to monitor your identity.  You should have some type of credit security company watching over your everyday transaction.  It's pretty sad how I said earlier that big brother has to much control over us but we created the monster with technology advancement, so now we need big brother to protect us against the other internet entity's that spawned from this.


The old saying " Two heads are better than one"  if very true now a days.  As we fall in the education latter compared to the rest of the world, United States citizens are suffering because of lack of knowledge in the new technology work place.  More and more company's are our hiring groups of people to work together to make a single idea better.  We can't depend on one person to think of ideas now, so we need a crowd of individuals that can give us a better idea on what they are trying to construct.  As citizens of the United States we our innovating new ideas and concepts so we can hang on to this economic roller coaster.  

Facebook, is it here to stay or will it be replaces out by Google+?

1. In your opinion, how is Facebook and Google+ different or the same?  My opinion about Facebook and Google+ is that they are the same thing.  Google+ is using the same concept of Facebook when it comes to the social network group but just adding new features.  I think Google + is trying seperate the kids from the adults in the social network world.
2. How many users does Facebook have? Why so many? Why did Facebook overtake MySpace? Facebook has more than 600 million users world wide, and it went viral becuase it was a new idea in the social network that people liked. One main reason why Facebook took over myspace is that Facebook spent more time on what people wanted from the social network and not so much gotti adds that took over ones page, like in my space.
3. Do you think Google+ or any other social media will overtake Facebook? I think that Google+ will find the flaws in Facebook and make old ideas better like what Facebook did to Myspace.
4. Why do you feel there is such an obsession with Facebook? Do you think this obsession is warranted?  I believe that many people are easly swayed when it comes to social acceptance on what's in and what's out.
5. What was your perspective of the film overall?  I loved the movie, and thought that the film is was a large learning lesson to all idealist. This movie just proved that ones idea can be manipulated and improved, so be wearly who you tell your ideas or business ideas, because no one can be trusted in the business world.

China's Baidu search engine merges with Microsoft's Bing. Should Google be worried?

As everyone knows that China and the United States have been competing for economical status for decades, but now China is moving to American search engine "Bing" for a better grasp on the American company Google search engine.  China has it's own version of Google called Baidu, but with Microsoft's Bing, it would allow a English search form, since the English laungage is the second language in China. China has a population of 1.3 billion and 4.99 trillion GDP, a power house in the worlds economic status.  Google recently moved from its China web search to Hong Kong site last March after confronting issues with Beijing over censorship issues.  This was a great opportunity for Microsoft to launch Bing in the worlds largest internet market.  Because of this unique new partnership with Baidu, this will allow both party's to tap into a on growing internet market.  I think Google had to much pride to negotiation with China's strict search engine rules and could have double there net worth.  With this new merger I will bet we will start to see more Bing advertisement with China's Baidu.
