[kictanet] Privacy and Email Providers

[K Machuhi]

In general, 'privacy' is becoming a nostalgic English word in
dictionaries....like fax or callbox.

 If you use internet or a smart phone at all, there are at least 5 guys who
can know everything about you that you consider 'private'. Including where
you are now, who is nearest, your consanguinity, other relationships....
and even more spooky....where you plan to be and do this weekend.

Search for 'google pizza' for introduction into the future on a light note.
