A Nation of Voyeurs: How the Internet search engine Google is changing what we can find out about one another – and raising questions about whether we should

This is another great article on the concerns raised by our past collapsing into the present. The writer uses anecdotes to explain why this can be troublesome, yet it’s so appealing that we wouldn’t want Google to disappear; he even shares the stories of revenge where people get hurt under the powers of Google. Unfortunately, i haven’t really run across anything that suggests what *should* be done to way out the cons with the pros. (They just typically share the scary stories, the good intentions of the Google creators and the legal impressions of Zittrain/Brin/Lessig/Rosen.)
