Hi Rocky:

True...but only if you want to or even can go off the grid. I believe in the
future that will become an ever smaller option.

It is almost to the point where "You do not have to use electricity" but
there is an ever thinning line between implicit and explicit and if your job
requires the use of certain products.... It is really unfortunate, that so
many are not independently wealthy so options are more theoretical than
practical.

That said, I do understand where you are coming from.

Except, unlike 1984, you still have the option not to use the service and
therefore, not be monitored.

Hi Rocky:

That might be a very true statement but OTOH, do I want someone monitoring
my every move and conversation? ...seems so Orwellian.

Once again, there should be no expectation of privacy on the internets.

For us, people reading our Skype messages, may deem that we lead incredibly
boring lives. 

That asks the question, according to the following link, why is our Skype
messages being read at all.
