Whether we truly want to admit it or not, with every keystroke, internet search, and clicked link, Google is collecting information about us, which can include personal stuff.  It's not a nefarious thing; it's a computer thing, monitoring our activity to make life easier for us.

We've all experienced Google making services more useful for us and assisting us in discovering or rediscovering the things we've searched for, read about, and watched on YouTube or other video sites.
