Since I found out that the internet is not what I thought it was, I'm losing my affection for it. I am feeling disillusioned. And worried.

This happened when I recently learned that my internet search does not produce the same results as your internet search. I didn't know this before.
Each internet search brings up results tailored to the individual's computer usage - the sites and even the types of sites most frequently visited and where the user is located.

So much for the openness of shared information. It isn't. It makes me think "Big Brother" - Orwell, not "reality" tv show.

It also makes me worry about non-electronic information - books, papers, etc - and how we are protecting them in this age of replacing everything with electronic equivalents.
