Post 2919, the post i was replying to, introduces the notion that the currency we use to pay for services from tech companies is our data.
Something they made up to legitimise the practice of data farming which could be likened to your window cleaner selling photos of the interior of your home to a 3 rd party just because he has access to the view.
NOT quite because for that situation to be parallel the window cleaner would have to wash all your windows for nothing! Perhaps users of this new "connected world" should be more aware off the old maxim "There's no such thing as a free lunch! "
