From an early adolescent age, toddlers categorize things into groups to better understand the world around them. People are connected to each other through many different socially connected networks.

Google Has Us Under Their Wing

Let’s just say… this challenge is almost impossible given today’s standards. I mean, maybe it’s doable if you weren’t consumed within Google’s ecosystem. But nowadays, it’s almost impossible. You absorb Google services even without knowing it. YouTube? Yeah, that’s under Google’s umbrella. Signing into a website? There’s probably some code that forces a redirect to …
