Job prospects based on credit score. Car insurance based on credit score. Credit score based on browser history. So your job prospects and car insurance are based on where you read online?

Seems to me that the consumer society is more and more dominated by the tech companies.

You know who also bases societal benefits on the way to act online? China.

I’m going to have to spend more time browsing how to be a better citizen and asking why Facebook is so wonderful. Maybe there are programs that will do it for me and up my score?

It’s interesting how societies are converging and not in a good way for Canada. Technology has its own momentum.
