Summary of the privacy in 21st century:
Phone rings in the pizza shop:
- “GOOGle” pizzeria, how may I help you?
- Pizzeria, what???
- “GOOGle” pizzeria, what would you like to order?
- Wait, it not this “Mr Pizza” pizzeria?
- Sorry, it was, but now has been bought by Google, and now we are able to offer more services and products
- Great, I am ready for the order
- Absolutely, would you like to repeat your regular order?
- Regular order, how do you know what is regular for me?
- We have caller ID, and we know that the last 53 times there were orders placed for pizza “All Meat”, extra cheese and six pack of cold beer
- Wow, impressive, did not even expect, great, I will take it
- Excuse me, may I give you and advice?
- Yes, of course
- Do you have our complete menu?
- No
- From our complete menu, I would like to recommend you greek pizza with low-salt feta cheese and tomato juice
- Tomatoes, low fat, low salt, and juice? Are you insane, I hate all of this
- I understand, but this is healthy option, especially with you high cholesterol
- How do you know this?
- Our company has largest database in the world and using your phone number we were able to get access to your medical test results
- Hell with your database, I do not want healthy pizza. I take pills to offset the cholesterol
- I am sorry, but you have not been taking your pills lately
- What the hell, are you spying on me?
- No, no. We just have access to all pharmacies in the city, and you have been there 3 month ago. A regular prescription fill last you for 30 days only
- Jesus, this is true, how do you know that I have not purchased anything?
- From your credit card…
- What?
- You pay with you “xyz” bank visa card, and receive 10% discount. In our database, we have all your expense records, and in the last 3 month you have not purchased anything from pharmacy
- No, how would you know that I did not pay using cash? What will you say to this?
- It is impossible, you pay only $100 to your maid in cash, and everything else you pay using your visa card
- You… bad people, how you know how much I pay to my maid?
- She pays EI and CPP….
- Go to hell…..
- Well, how you wish, I am sorry I have all this info on my display, and all I want is to help you. Also, you may want to stop by your doctor’s office and pick up test results to adjust medication doses…
- Listen… I am tired of you, your computers and social networks, databases and the absence of privacy and this country
- Please, don’t get upset, this is all for your benefit though
- Shut up, first thing tomorrow, I am going to buy a one way ticket to Fiji, where there is no internet, no phone and social networks, and no one will be watching me…
- I understand you
- Last time I will use my credit card, to but the ticket and that’s it…Also cancel the order for pizza
- Already cancelled, if you allow me only one little thing?
- WHAT????
- Just a friendly reminder that you passport expired….
OMG...if only this were just a satiric fantasy and not a reasonable expectation of the future.
