The U. S. Office of Technology Assessment estimates that the marketplace
maintains a total database of over five billion records and churns
its data from computer-to-computer at an average rate of five times
a day! Trust that your binary android is among the bits and bytes
boundlessly bouncing between bureaus for bucks. Among the other
information for sale or rent about you is: bank account balances;
unlisted phone numbers; Social Security status, earnings, etc.;
criminal records; litigation history; telephone usage statistics;
work-related injuries; medical records; credit card balances, limits,
etc.; driving records; employment and educational history; club
memberships; bill payment history; personal data (such as, family
composition, buying patterns, and lifestyle); and names of lottery
winners .
