I'm not sure your personal business being logged can be compared to the social change of the Industrial Revolution.<p>Cast your mind a few hundred years ago, where people were born, grew up and died within a few miles of their village. Everybody knew your business back then; your character, whether you were hard working or a drunk, whether you were honest or a crook, whether you were late for church, or couldn't afford new shoes, or whether you were barren. We've been here before.<p>The question is whether now that we are in roughly the same place, are we going to go back to the oppressive small mindedness of the village, or can we master this without all becoming judgmental busybodies.
