Today Mr. Clod took my stepdaughter to her counseling appointment, and when he entered the address into his phone Google cheerfully announced (on screen, not actually out loud) that he had been to this same location one year ago, and would he like to store it in his list?

It was also quick to let him know that no one could see this data except him... and presumably any Google employee, and anyone who hacks his phone, and anyone who hacks the right Google server.

But he just sighed and moved on, because none of us are going to stop using smartphones or GPS or Google. We've given up, they can just have all our data.
