Wow! Just got this from ebay… Every click I have ever made on ebay has been cached as with every other thing ever done on the net. Kind of a creepy reminder! My other account goes back to 1996 when you were encouraged to bid on your own items, the site often went down just as your item was closing and only about half the sellers could figure out how to load a picture of their item.
Fun firsts, big wins, and memories made together.

Yea that is really creepy. I think that is one of the reasons the internet has made people as paranoid as we are. Also this stuff is stored on your hard drive. Once my work computer crashed and the technician had to clear out the cashe and I saw a brief clips of every car I had looked at on e-bay!
and your details from any site like face book etc are used to sell profiled lists to telly marketers who then use that info to send you and your contacts advertisements for shit you didn’t ask for, don’t need and don’t want…
Your every move is recorded by pretty much every “free service “ site you visits.
Its getting a bit scary, and i’m getting really paranoid !!
I watched this documentary on this particular thing on how there making money on every move you make on the internet. Its scary when you browse lets say home depot for oh like a air purifier and then later on you go on facebook and there it is different air purifiers with different companies and prices. That freaks me out to see that and makes me just stop going on face book all together and any other social media like Instagram or twitter .
It’s wild to realize how much of our online history is quietly stored forever. Early ebay days felt chaotic but oddly fun — blurry photos, last-second crashes, and everyone learning the internet together. Now every click is tracked so perfectly it almost feels like a digital diary nobody asked for. Makes you appreciate simpler internet days… and honestly reminds me why so many people look for more private, customizable apps now, which is probably why apps like Honista keep getting attention lately.
