week 5-Google week

Wow! I had no idea Google did all the things it does. It seems like keeping all that information is a waste of space, even if they do have an infinite amount of it. If they have no reason to keep it, they should be more than willing to delete files on people.
I admit, I use Google for every little search I do. But I didn't know they were keeping track of it forever. They provide a ton of useful, helpful tools, but I don't understand why they need to hoard all this information.
There have to be better ways to get advertising than looking at what we're searching for. It seems like they're just waiting for the right time and the right person to run for office before they unleash their Google records. Isn't that what this article is saying could potentially happen? It's a little scary to me. What's scarier is I'll still use Google.
