Yes, it does make a huge difference. Your ISP doesn't store data about your surfing habits, your searches, your e-mails and whatever else, forever. For now, what Google does may not have an impact on anyone's life. In the future, who knows? Imagine an ill-intended company taking over Google (it's a public company now) and doing all sorts of mischief with the data they have.
