It's not just technology, it's the fact that so much of what you do on the net can potentially come back to Google.
- Search for web sites
- Watch/search Youtube videos
- Browse the web
- Send & receive email
- Read & write in usenet newsgroups
There are also the indirect services, which can collect data about you even if you never use any of Googles services, but visit a site which inlines them:
- Adsense
- Google analytics
Every time I check out a Google service I haven't seen before I'm reminded that I'm part of the machine, when my browser prefills the login details.
