I read this on the mistrust of technology many people have and then came across an article talking about the pains of anonymous Web surfing.

Ever tried it? Most people don’t even know how, and as the author of the article points out – he missed some things that giving up some information gives you, such as Amazon.com recommendations. (I like those too).

Personally I agree that our fear of technology will wane with time and eventually we’ll simply get used to the inherent risks. Why not?

We do now with cell phones, credit cards, and grocery store “bonus” cards.
