Yesterday morning Cathy went to a link that promised to provide
information showing how to secure low cost health coverage. She
looked at the web page and said that she was not about to provide them
with the personal information they requested. So she closed the site.
About an hour later the phone began to ring. It was in response to
her "request" for information. We disconnected and hardly went back
about our business when the phone rang again. We have caller ID, so
most of our calls are identified both on a screen and by voice. After
counting 20 calls from companies wanting to help us, we lost count.
This morning at 8:01 A.M. the phone began to ring. So far I've only
had 3 calls in 20 minutes.
So, how is it that merely opening a web page connects someone to an
army of predators? And just how many eyes and ears are quietly taking
in our every word? Big Brother? No, it's far, far bigger than that.
I wonder, is Donald Trump really building a Wall to keep folks out?
Or will that wall really keep us in our Prison of the Formerly Free?
Carl Jarvis , learning once again that there are more eyes and ears
than those of the little forest friends, tracking our every move.
